Tom Brady is reportedly considering a comeback.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner has been on the bench for a while now. However, a report from the Daily Mail claims he’s looking to jump back in for some action, although it would take him around three years.
The publication suggests that Brady desires Olympic gold and would suit up for Team USA at the 2028 Olympics.
“He wants a Gold medal,” the report reads. “And what better way to remain the GOAT and return to the sport he loves, by helping his country win gold.”
NFL owners voted unanimously to approve players playing in the summer games in Los Angeles three years from now. Given that Brady’s been retired, he wouldn’t have needed approval anyway.
The former quarterback is widely considered to be the greatest football player of all time and performed at the highest level well into his 40s. Even so, he will be 50 by the time the next Olympics come around.
Of course, flag football is hardly as grueling as the football he was used to playing in the NFL, and TB would likely still be able to throw a pass with pinpoint accuracy as a 90-year-old. He’d be an asset to Team USA at any age.
“He knows he would be able to help and excel in that environment and since his life is very much scheduled and has a tight regimen, so many things could fall into place for him around that time,” the Mail’s report adds.
Brady would have an advantage over NFL QBs in terms of being able to report for international duty whenever he needs to, while teams in the league won’t want their signal-callers to leave at the beginning of training camp.
On the other hand, the future Hall of Famer won’t have anyone blocking for him at the Olympics, which could prove tricky.
