Tom Brady officially kicked off the next chapter of his career when he made his broadcasting debut on Fox last Sunday, and the legendary quarterback acknowledged there’s some room for improvement after getting off to a fairly rocky start.
No one would have blamed Tom Brady for taking it easy after announcing his decision to enter a well-earned retirement when he wrapped up one of the most storied careers in NFL history at the age of 45 following the conclusion of his 23rd season.
However, the future Hall of Famer was still a member of the Buccaneers when he inked a massive deal to serve as a color commentator for Fox, which lured him into the broadcast booth with a 10-year, $375 million contract he’d be able to take advantage of whenever he decided to hang up his cleats.
On Sunday, TB12 embarked on that new journey when he joined Kevin Burkhardt above the gridiron at Huntington Bank Field to cover the showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns.
It was far from an unmitigated disaster, but plenty of viewers thought Brady certainly sounded like someone who was calling his first NFL game while notable names including Rob Gronkowski and Scott Hanson (the latter of whom needlessly apologized for his lighthearted criticism) took note of his somewhat lackluster performance.
Now, we’ve got the opinion of the man himself, as a camera crew accompanied Brady to Cleveland for a video that was released on his YouTube channel on Thursday.
Brady got the chance to give a self-evaluation while decompressing on the private jet that flew him back home after the game wrapped up, saying:
He’ll have the chance to prove that’s the case when the Cowboys host the Saints in Dallas on Sunday.
