Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is no longer afraid to name-drop Bill Belichick. In fact, during a roundtable with TNT’s Ernie Johnson, Brady seemed to be practicing for his broadcast career when he’ll be doing a lot of name-dropping.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB discussed what got him excited to work in media after he retires. He and FOX Sports agreed to a contract that will put him at the No. 1 analyst spot in their NFL games.
“I love football and I care a lot about football, too. I’m always going to be involved in it one way or the other,” Brady said in the interview that aired after “The Match” golf event. “I was thinking about the opportunity to travel around and see these guys on different Friday afternoons and watching them practice and saying, ‘Hey, here’s a couple of things that worked for me.’
“[Talking to] different coaches. I was around the most amazing coach, in Coach Belichick, the most amazing coaches over a period of time. I played with Hall of Famers, Randy Moss to Ty Law to Richard Seymour. I feel like I have a lot of knowledge.”
