Brady, who won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly nearly joined his hometown team of the 49ers in 2019. However, Brady chose to sign with the Buccaneers and went on to win Super Bowl LV.

Brady last came to Santa Clara in 2022 as the Bucs quarterback, losing 35-7 to Brock Purdy in his first start under center for the 49ers.

Brady grew up about 45 minutes from Santa Clara in San Mateo, playing high school football for Junipero Serra.

Sunday’s game is set for a 1:05 p.m. PT kickoff between the 49ers and Cardinals.
