NFL Community Pays Tribute To Tom Brady Following Retirement Announcement -

After several days of “will he?” or “won’t he?”, seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Tom Brady, announced via social media that he was officially calling it quits after 22 seasons in the NFL.

Normally, a 44-year-old announcing his retirement from the NFL wouldn’t be shocking, however, Brady is walking away from the game having never hit the proverbial “cliff”. In fact, one could argue that since ESPN’s Max Kellerman made that ridiculous statement, Brady has actually climbed the cliff as opposed to falling off of it. Very befitting of the GOAT.

To be at the very top of your profession, to never have “peaked” when you decided it was time to walk away (after 22 years) as an athlete is truly 1 of 1 stuff. ????????‍♂️

When I think about Tom Brady, he’s a true winner who handled himself with class throughout his entire career.

Even with those seven Super Bowl rings, he never lost that competitive fire to be the best.

Congratulations, @TomBrady, on a tremendous career! https://t.co/bXmwUo3bc8
