#2 - Overcoming adversity

Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense faced plenty of adversity during the 2021 NFL season. They had to overcome injuries suffered by several key players at different points in the year, including Rob Gronkowski, Leonard Fournette, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Despite being without his full arsenal of weapons for the majority of the season, Brady still found a way to dominate. leading his team all the way to the Divisional Round. Brady and the Buccaneers ultimately suffered a narrow 27-30 defeat to the Super Bowl-bound LA Rams.

They also had to endure all of the drama surrounding Antonio Brown. He was suspended for a fake vaccination card and would later quit the team in the middle of a Week 17 game against the Jets, among other things. Brady still managed to help the Buccaneers win 13 games, tied most in the NFL.

#3 - Going out on top

Brady is retiring at the age of 44 but is still at the top of his game. A strong argument can be made that he was the best quarterback in the 2021 NFL season.

His accomplishments and accolades are unmatched and it would only be fitting for him to go out on top. Unfortunately he can't win the Super Bowl this season, but at least he has a great chance to cap-off a stellar career by winning one more MVP award.
