WATCH: Tom Brady’s Inch Perfect Pass to Daniel Ricciardo at Port of Monaco Amid NFL Retirement Rumors

Tom Brady, one of the greatest NFL players of all time, has reportedly announced his retirement after 22 years on the field. Of course, he is well known around the world for his historic seven Super-Bowl wins, but aside from that, he is also known for his undying love for Formula 1.

In fact, Brady showed up at the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and even spent the evening throwing passes to race winner Daniel Ricciardo. While Brady took a seat on a massive cruise, Ricciardo was across the harbor on a Red Bull Yacht.

The NFL star then made a play at the Aussie from quite a long distance and at an incredible pace. It almost looked like Ricciardo was going to mess up the game and end up missing the ball. However, Ricciardo was good enough to catch the ball, as he raised his arms in the air to celebrate the ‘touchdown’.

Three years later, Brady again made an unexpected F1 appearance at Aston Martin’s inaugural launch. The American introduced himself via video call, as he wished the British team well with their future.

Is Tom Brady retiring from the NFL?

Well, multiple sources including ESPN recently revealed that Brady will be retiring from the NFL after 22 years. The rumors grow stronger with each passing day. But, amid mounting speculation, Brady’s agent Don Yee refrained from commenting.

He acknowledged that, if there was an announcement, it would come soon from Brady himself. “I understand the speculation about Tom’s future,” he said.

“Without going into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what is reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. He knows the realities of the football industry and the planning calendar as well as anyone, so it should be soon.”

Overall, Brady’s retirement announcement is most likely due to his family and health issues. And of course, losing a player of such caliber is a huge loss for the NFL. So can Brady ever be replaced? Or will he continue to be hailed as the greatest of all time even after his retirement?
