At 47, most athletes have long given way to the next generation. Not Tom Brady. While others his age are easing into retirement, Brady looks like he’s gearing up for Week 1.
His latest Instagram post, set against the backdrop of palm trees and golf gear in Hawaii, sent fans into a frenzy, and for good reason.
Standing shirtless with his arms crossed and abs carved like he’s still chasing rings, Brady looked more like a prospect headed to the NFL Combine than a retiree. Clad in black workout shorts and surrounded by the warm glow of the Hawaiian sun, he looked every bit the quarterback who won seven Super Bowls and changed the way the league thinks about longevity.
Brady’s been keeping busy since calling it quits. He’s a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and is entering his second season as FOX’s top NFL analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt. But football never seems far from his routine. The legendary quarterback recently posted five training photos in collaboration with NOBULL, showing his signature strength and control.
Tom Brady is still JACKED and in perfect shape.
Tom would very likely still be the best quarterback in the league right now.

“@nobull shows up wherever life takes you… No shortcuts, no noise, just the work and the will to keep showing up,” Brady wrote to his 15.2 million Instagram followers. The response? A wave of fans practically begging for a comeback. Comments like “Making a comeback, plz report to training camp” and “TB12 looking like he can still play” filled his feed within minutes.
And they’re not just being nostalgic. Brady’s last full season saw him throw for over 5,300 yards and 43 touchdowns. He retired as the all-time NFL leader in passing yards (84,520), completions (7,263), and touchdown passes (624). His playoff résumé? Twenty appearances, ten Super Bowl trips, and seven wins. The numbers don’t lie, and neither does the camera.
After globe-trotting with his kids and stopping in Japan for a vacation, Brady looks more focused than ever. Whether it’s strength training in paradise or inspiring a global fitness brand, he continues to prove he hasn’t lost a step.
Brady may not be on an NFL roster today, but judging by how he looks and trains, he might just be the best quarterback not playing right now. The GOAT didn’t just walk away from football, he’s redefining what life after the NFL looks like.
