It was a year Tom Brady might want to forget: A 2022 in which he retired, then unretired, then announced he and Gisele Bundchen were getting a divorce, then had arguably his worst season, maybe ever.
Just how much did it all weigh on him? This much: As part of a report from ESPN’s Jeff Darlington released on Twitter this week, he revealed that Brady lost 15 pounds during the season.
“Brady also knows his own mental focus was gone for a bulk of the season,” Darlington said in the video below. “His physical stature, faced with 15 pounds of weight loss, was also in peril.”
