Tom Brady is all set to step into a new era. After a career that spanned over two decades, the football legend will switch over to an off-field role, as he will be joining Fox Sports as an analyst. However, before he could join, a former USMNT player and analyst took the opportunity to give him some strange personal advice.
Brady recently hung up his boots after a career spanning 23 years. And now the talisman is available to provide his assessments regarding the NFL. Former USMT forward Taylor Twellman has recently suggested Brady go all in with honest takes when he gets on camera.
In the recent episode of the podcast Awful Announcement, Twellman said, “Don’t lie. And what I mean by that is that the fans will appreciate you even if you give an answer that goes against them. They’ll respect you and appreciate you once the emotions are out of it 24 hours later. Fan comes from the word fanatic. Don’t worry about the fan, just do the job,” emphasizing not to hesitate.

Twellman believes Brady is the NFL’s GOAT, and fans will respect his opinion even if they disagree. Twellman further said, “You’re the greatest quarterback ever, arguably one of the greatest athletes in their respective sports ever. And so that’s why you got hired; you’re Tom Brady. Call it as you see it, and if it’s raw and it’s unrefined, it doesn’t matter; you’re Tom Brady.” The former quarterback has loads of achievements behind him.
Brady has won the NFL a massive seven times and has also won five MVP titles, with the most recent being in 2021. He also has the all-time highest passing yards at 89,214, along with 649 touchdown passes. This can help him ace the new role.

Twellman feels that the Pharaoh would provide great value. The former CONCACAF Gold Cup winner also said, “He’s got one of the best work ethics I’ve ever seen in his profession. If he takes that into commentating and doing games, he’s going to be very good at it. But don’t worry about what the fan thinks don’t worry about selling them on something; just be yourself, call the game,” revealing his personal touch with the star.
