The Tom Brady rollout has arrived. With the 2024 NFL season rapidly approaching, and with it Brady's broadcasting debut for Fox Sports, the former New England Patriots great has been making various public appearances to show what fans should expect when he's in the booth come September. The latest of those came this past weekend, when he joined ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith on his eponymous podcast.
During his interview, Brady touched upon a topic he's proven to be very passionate about in retirement: how young quarterbacks are handled in the modern NFL. He went on an impassioned rant to Smith about how it's a "tragedy" that teams force rookie quarterbacks to play before they are ready by dumbing the game down, which doesn't allow them to develop at the necessary rate— a problem that starts at the collegiate level.
