Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis played down the absence of Tom Brady as he insisted the NFL is in for a ‘rude awakening’.
Back in February, Brady announced he was retiring from the NFL ‘for good’ after a 23-year career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His decision came following a torrid 2022 campaign in which the seven-time Super Bowl champion struggled with issues in his personal life.
Brady’s Bucs struggled on the field too as they finished with a losing record of 8-9 in 2022, although they somehow emerged victorious in the NFC South. His postseason journey was swiftly ended at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
