Earlier in February, Tom Brady shocked the world for the second year in a row, as he announced his retirement from the NFL. Since then, the Bucs and the Patriots have expressed their desire to give him a proper farewell. In the meantime, the 7-time Super Bowl champion visited some fans in Tampa for his retirement party. The NFT platform Autograph, co-founded by Brady, arranged the party and the meet-and-greet with his fans.
Brady’s best friend on and off the field, Rob Gronkowski, who was also at the party, had shared a few pictures from the meet. Now, Brady himself has shared some heartwarming moments from the day.

Brady took to his official Instagram account to share glimpses of fan interactions. In one of the videos, he can be seen throwing a ball with a disabled fan, with many fans capturing the moment on their cameras. At first, the fan couldn’t catch the ball, but he was successful in the second attempt to give Brady his completion, and the whole crowd exploded with applause.
In the caption, Brady wrote, “Got together with my @autograph.io family in Tampa to celebrate the end of The Huddle, our first Signature Experience.“
“This past season was the closest I’ve ever been with some of my biggest fans, and I couldn’t think of a better way to close it all out. The future of fandom is bright!” he further wrote.

Brady responds to return rumors
Last year Brady’s retirement lasted only 40 days. That’s why his fans have been counting the days since his retirement this year. Unfortunately, Brady has already surpassed the 40-day mark, and no return announcement has yet appeared.

Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a 2 month old kitten for their daughter. https://t.co/Qzf2H4vr1j
