Future NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady retired as arguably the greatest player of all time.
But even the GOAT has some regrets about his playing career. Recently, Brady revealed what troubles him most about his career when he watches players like Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Brady spoke on the Pivot Podcast hosted by NFL greats Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder.
“What I would have changed was, OK, there’s part of me that still loves … You see these young players. I see, like, Patrick [Mahomes] out there at quarterback, laughing, having fun,” Brady said. “I’m like, ‘I used to be like that!’ What the [heck] happened to me? I just got too serious.”
Brady admits that maybe he took his playing role a little too seriously.
“So much [of], I think, the early part of my career was trying to fulfill people’s new expectations of me — and me still being the 14-year-old boy that wanted to fit in. I was like, ‘I just want to go to the field and play,’” Brady told the hosts. “Now, there was all these other things to choose from.”
However, Brady hinted that the revelation might benefit his broadcasting career.
“You just learn from it and go, ‘OK, now next phase of life, enjoy it a little more,’” he said.
