Tom Brady shined through the NFL world because of many reasons. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has etched a legacy that will be hard to follow by the future generation of players. We always knew Brady for his hard work and dedication to the game. Apart from this, he had a winner’s mentality. This is the prime reason why Brady never gave up, even in difficult situations, and went on to build a historical name for himself. After joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the New England Patriots in 2020, Brady led the Bucs to win the Super Bowl LV.
Despite retiring from the NFL after a last season with the Bucs in 2022, his former teammates recall how the GOAT boosted his own morale because of TB12’s personality and never-giving-up attitude, leading them to the Super Bowl LV win.

David said, “My favorite Tom Brady story I believe we was 7-5 going into the bye week in 2020 before we made the run. And I remember, it was uh, we had like a two-game losing streak or three-game losing streak one of them. And I remember during the bye week, me and Tom ran into each other and he came to me and he was like, ‘Trust me, we gonna turn this thing around. We not gonna lose another game. And that kind of stood out to me and we didn’t lose another game and went on to win the Super Bowl.”
Brady continues his winning mentality even after retirement
Even after retiring from the game more than a month ago, Brady continues his winning formula in life through his various other ventures. The GOAT recently kept himself rooted in the world of sports by investing to become a part owner of the WNBA team the Las Vegas Aces.
