When Tom Brady finally announced his retirement from the NFL, there was a question that popped into everyone’s mind. Who will succeed the G.O.A.T? Well, fans need not worry because there are plenty of prospects available in the market possessing the ability to become the next Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, or Brady himself. In fact, the veteran picked some names who can rule the NFL world shortly.
Even though Brady left the arena, netizens can stay assured that the league is in safe hands. The Super Bowl LVII game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles happens to be a shred of evidence for this notion. In a recent interview, Brady nominated players like Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow as the top picks to excel shortly.

“I hope these guys like Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts can play for a long time. And Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow and these tremendous players that bring so much. That’s Why we watch–not because of the color of the jersey, because of the players in the jerseys.” Brady said in his statement.
All these comments clarify the veteran’s future aspirations and the theory that states Brady is not coming back. He has passed on the baton, and it’s time to move on.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion is expected to flourish in the second phase of his career. As a mentor and an adviser, Brady outshines everybody. All credit to his unparalleled legacy and experience accumulated in the past 23 years.
Recently, the Chiefs quarterback admitted to having sought advice from Brady ahead of the AFC championship game against the Bengals. “I talked to Tom a little bit, I have a good relationship with him now, and he gives me a lot of advice,” Mahomes said via ProFootballTalk.com.
“Why would you not want to learn from the GOAT? Any time anybody like that wants to give me advice I’ll take it in. It’s cool to see the guys you’ve watched growing up, your whole life, be able to talk to you.” he added.
Tom Brady nominating the future star garners plenty of reactions
Brady’s supremacy over the past two decades is untouched, but looking at the current pace of emerging talents, the likelihood of these records breaking seems more probable. Meanwhile, the quarterback’s candid comments received several reactions, with fans making their own picks.

No we watch the jerseys. I like Jalen Hurts, but if he went to any NFC East team, we are cursing him out every game.
