Tom Brady's retirement

Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL on February 1 after many rumors that were going on for a long period of time. Brady retired after a total of 22 seasons, three MVP awards, and seven Super Bowl rings with the Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He wrote in an Instagram post:

"I have always believed the sport of football is an ‘all-in’ proposition — if a 100% competitive commitment isn’t there, you won’t succeed and success is what I love so much about our game...There is a physical, mental, and emotional challenge EVERY single day that has allowed me to maximize my highest potential. And I have tried my very best these past 22 years. There are no shortcuts to success on the field or in life."

The athlete further wrote:

“This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention."

Production for this upcoming road-trip movie 80 for Brady is due this spring.
