It's official. Tom Brady is returning to the NFL just months after announcing his retirement. The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted on his Twitter account that he would be returning for a sensational 23rd NFL season.

He posted on Twitter:

"These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG"

The post sent NFL fans into overdrive. One fan posted that Brady did an MJ (Michael Jordan) by retiring and then returning to dominate again:

Another fan posted that the GOAT (greatest of all-time) is back.

One fan posted in reply to Brady's status and wrote what else he has left to prove, pointing out that the 44-year-old has won everything in the sport:

Rajpal Brar posted, jokingly, that the seven-time champ had enough of his kids and that he is returning to work:

The tweets kept coming with one fan saying that the quarterback's return was the best day of their life:

Another fan posted, "Yes, the GOAT is back."

One fan posted saying the league is far better with the 44-year-old in it:

Another fan posted a gif of the entire league's reaction to the quarterback's return:

One user posted that their coffee just came out of their nose, seemingly in shock that the 44-year-old is returning for another season:

The 44-year-old will once again link up with the Buccaneers and head coach Bruce Arians as they look to build on their efforts last season. With the seven-time Super Bowl champion returning, the Bucs will be one of the favorites to make it out of the NFC in the postseason.

It is a significant boost to the Buccaneers' hopes for the new season and will undoubtedly thrust the franchise back into the spotlight as well. For now, though, many NFL fans are still coming to terms with the fact that Tom Brady will be in the NFL next season.
