TAMPA, FL (AP) – Tom Brady has announced his retirement.
Brady won a record seven Super Bowls, six for New England and one with Tampa Bay.
Brady is the most successful quarterback in National Football League (NFL) history and one of the greatest athletes in team sports. He has won three NFL MVP awards, has been a first-team All-Pro three times, and was selected to the Pro Bowl 15 times.
He posted the announcement on social media in a brief video lasting just under one minute. He says this time it’s for good.
