Not many people bought Tom Brady’s first NFL retirement, and his second hasn’t been any different.
Brady decided to run it back just one month after announcing he was walking away from the game.
And while he claimed that this time he meant it and he was done for good, it seems like people are still waiting for him to say he’s ready to play again.
That was the case on Twitter again when he shared a clip of him playing football on the beach with some of his former teammates from the New England Patriots.
Grateful to have the chance to celebrate such an amazing life on and off the field with friends and family.
Even more grateful to get through 30 minutes of beach football with no serious injuries 😂 pic.twitter.com/48YG7CPe9b

Nearly every reply to the Tweet was from a fan urging him to pad up and pursue an eighth championship, stating he’s still too good to be retired.

Truth be told, Brady looked far from done in his final season, even after a slow start to the campaign.
He attempted a league-high 733 passes and threw for 4,694 yards and 25 touchdowns against nine interceptions.
And while those numbers might not be the most impressive by Brady’s standards, they’re still far better than what most QB1s did.
The San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, and Washington Commanders could all use a major upgrade at the QB position, just to name a few.
Even the New England Patriots would gladly take him back, as there have been doubts about Mac Jones’ future with the organization.
