Tom Brady has always been a gamer at heart. Although most of his fans don’t know the fact, the 45-year-old Quarter Back for Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been playing video games from a very young age. And there was a time when he showed his gaming prowess to not just his fans but many other NFL players and television host Conan O’Brien as well.

And surprisingly, Brady showed his prowess, not in a Madden game, but rather in a Ubisoft-published medieval brawler game. Thus making it clear that he has his hands set on PlayStation controllers.
Tom Brady plays ‘For Honor’ along with Conan O’Brien, Dwight Freeny, and more
In a February 2017 video, titled “Clueless Gamer Super Bowl Edition: “For Honor” | CONAN on TBS” and uploaded by Conan O’Brien’s fan-centric multi-platform media company ‘Team Coco’, they invited NFL legend and Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB, Tom Brady, to play video games. But unlike the name of the segment, it was seen that Brady is not “clueless” about his game at all.
Notably, along with Brady, O’Brien also invited top NFL players of the season Dwight Freeney (played as Defensive End for Atlanta Falcons in 2016), Rob Gronkowski (played as Tight End for New England Patriots in 2016), LeGarrette Blount (played as Running Back for New England Patriots in 2016), and Marshawn Lynch (took an initial retirement in 2016).

Notably, Tom Brady also said at the start of the video that he has been really aggressive while playing video games and said, “I’ve broken a lot of remotes in my day and broken a lot of TVs.” Additionally, Conan O’Brien also said after losing back-to-back two rounds of the Ubisoft-published Medieval Brawler game, For Honor, “you just made a fool out of me Tom.” While Tom dropped his PlayStation 4 controller, representing the famous ‘Mic-Drop’ move.
Notably, the video was uploaded just before Super Bowl LI in 2017 and thus was advertised as a “proxy match” between the Patriots and the Falcons.
