“I’d say there are parts of me that are 55, and I think there’s parts of me that are 25,” said Brady. “What parts? I think I’m wise beyond my years. I think I’ve had a lot of life experience packed into 44 years.”

“When I go through the tunnel and onto the field? Probably mid-30s—and I’ve got to work really hard to feel good. It’s a demolition derby every Sunday. I feel 25 when I’m in the locker room with the guys. Which is probably why I still do it, said Tom Brady.

Brady is still having fun with the guys in the locker room. That is one of the reasons he is still motivated to perform at a higher level.
