Tom Brady has touching reason he doesn't want son to follow in footsteps and play in NFL

Tom Brady does not want his son to follow in his footsteps and compete in the NFL - because he doesn't want him to have to face the pressure of replicating his success.

Brady won an unprecedented seven Super Bowls over an illustrious career that spanned two decades with the New England Patriots - where he won six of his championships - and three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning Super Bowl LV. As a result of his longevity and unprecedented success, the former quarterback is considered by many to be the greatest in NFL history.

The 45-year-old stepped away from the sport with plenty of other hardware to go with his seven rings, including five Super Bowl MVP and three regular season MVP awards. Brady is gearing up to enter the commentary booth with FOX Sports after signing a blockbuster $375million deal when he originally retired last year, before sensationally returning for the 2022 season.
