Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday.
In a lengthy statement, he said, in part, that, "I've done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult questions. And I am so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, and fans deserve 100% of me, but right now, it's best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes."
In his statement, which spanned eight different photos of text shared to social media, Brady thanked various members of the Buccaneers organization, including teammates, coach Bruce Arians, general manager Jason Licht, ownership and the city more broadly.
