Tom Brady has always been known for his excellence on the field, and it seems his talents extend far beyond just playing football. The NFL legend, who recently signed a staggering 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox, made his broadcasting debut during the UFL Championship game in St. Louis on Sunday. Fans were in for a surprise as Brady stepped into the booth during the second quarter of the game between the Birmingham Stallions and San Antonio Brahmas.
Brady’s transition from player to commentator appeared seamless. Social media lit up with praise for his performance, with one fan commenting, “He did a couple of series for both teams. A very small sample size, but he sounds very good.” Another fan noted the nostalgic feeling Brady brought, comparing the game to his Super Bowl LIII win: “Ironically with Tom Brady in the booth, this game reminds me of his Pats win over the Rams 13-3 in Super Bowl LIII.”
Despite this being his first time in the booth, Brady’s presence was commanding and natural. “Tom Brady is killing it right now in the booth for this UFL Championship game,” another fan remarked. Brady’s ability to connect with the audience and provide insightful commentary proved he’s not just a great player but also a promising analyst.
