“When It Comes Out, All This Does Is Build His Legend Even Greater”: Tom Brady Knee Was Badly Injured During Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl 55 Run

Tom Brady is a certified NFL legend. However, Brady had a lot more going than we might have thought, at least in terms of injuries.

What Happened To Tom Brady & His Knee?

Tom Brady only needed a minor surgery, but since his recovery timeline is so long, it opens up questions as to how severe his injuries were. Brady was also seen wearing a knee brace during the Buccaneers Super Bowl celebration

Brady’s surgery may also help explain a cryptic tweet he sent out:
