Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a unique self-belief in his abilities and will back it to the extreme. While opening upon his experience during the 2020 NFL free agency, Brady shares his amusement at the lack of interest in his services among NFL franchises. The then 6-time Super Bowl champion was departing from the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick’s system after almost 20 seasons.

During the interviews in his latest ‘Man In The Arena” documentary, Brady was annoyed with teams not jumping at the opportunity to sign him.
He states, “Unless you got one of the top few guys… I would be expecting people to be interested. In my mind I’m thinking, ‘If you’re another team and you’re not interested in having me as you’re quarterback, like, what the f*** is wrong with you?’”

The legendary QB eventually chose to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He won his 7th Super Bowl championship in 2020. With his Super Bowl victory, Brady sent a message to all the teams that hesitated to take a chance on him. The inner competitor within Brady was never going to leave any doubt about what he was capable of on the football field.
Tom Brady isn’t the kind of player who backs down to challenges
The 15-time Pro Bowler knows when it is time to step up and has been a player who relishes in the big moments. He has only continued to showcase his dominance on the field, as he had another amazing statistical season in 2021. He ended last season as the league leader in passing yards(5,316) and touchdowns(43) at age 44.

Despite having a collectively tough season, Brady was the leading light in a dark and injury-marred season. Brady seems far from hanging his boots, as he will be playing in his 23rd NFL campaign in 2022.
The 3-time All-Pro selection will be looking for any and every opportunity to motivate himself to possibly win his 8th Super Bowl ring.
There appears to be a lift in the mood of the Buccaneers camp and even among their supporters. It comes after his U-turn on his retirement announcement. He will have all his key supporting cast back fit and ready to play. The Buccaneers will be looking to make strides in the 2022 NFL season.
