Tom Brady, an NFL legend, has done it yet again by winning the hearts of millions of his fans with a sweet gesture. The former quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers retired after 23 seasons and now leads a life of tranquility, away from the gridiron. But he continues to be a man of the people as he proved in a viral interaction between him and a Make-a-Wish kid that will probably remember this moment for all eternity.
Brady is one of the best to step on the field in the history of football, if not the very best. He gave his heart and soul into being an absolute force for over two decades and won 7-Super Bowls. But his trophies and stats aren’t what make him the best sportsman. What he does for his fans outside of the stadium matters. And with the help of Michael Rubin, Brady shared a heartfelt moment with a fan, yet again.
