Tom Brady’s career had everything in multiples—Super Bowls, Pro Bowls, MVPs, All-Pro selections, and even retirements. Fresh off his second retirement last year after a storied 23-season career, the seven-time Super Bowl champ has sparked speculation about a potential comeback more than a few times. Well, the comeback rumors sparked again during Brady’s blog debut on YouTube.

In the nine-minute vlog, the former QB was captured engaging in various activities, from attending the Paris Olympics to flaunting his toned physique on the coast of Italy. Then, out of the blue, he dropped a bombshell by hinting at a return to the gridiron, boasting that, at the age of 47, he could still outperform most of them. He said:
“Just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know if I still want to come out of retirement, they still got something to deal with.”

This time, though, Brady’s empty promises didn’t impress anyone. It seems the majority are tired of the teasing and were quick to make it known. One user even suggested that Brady’s big ego is why he keeps talking about a comeback. See for yourselves:

That said, Brady didn’t just throw shade at the young QBs; he also shared some of the tricks up his sleeve that could definitely help stand out.
TB12 reveals his must-do throwing drill
In one segment of his Europe vlog, the former NFL quarterback delved into what he considered the most crucial drill that helped him develop as a playmaker.
He emphasized pointing the dominant shoulder toward the target, noting that as he got older, instead of swinging his left arm open to create torque, he began keeping his left arm more in front of his body and torquing around it.
“So, number one is, always point your lead shoulder at the target. And then one thing, as I got older, instead of swinging my left arm open to create torque. I would leave my left arm more in front of my body and I would torque around my left arm.”
That said, Brady’s chances of returning to the field at the start of the upcoming season seem negligible, as he clearly stated in the video that he hasn’t been throwing or practicing. Additionally, with his broadcasting career about to start with Fox, his playing days appear to be behind him.
