With the commencement of the 2023 NFL season, a significant change has occurred in the football world.
Tom Brady, a legendary quarterback, will no longer be seen on the field throwing flawless passes or leading his team to victory.
However, Brady will still make an appearance at an NFL stadium, but this time, it will be in an entirely different capacity.
He will return to Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, to be honored during their game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, during the first episode of his Let’s Go! podcast’s third season, Brady shared his feelings about returning to Foxborough.
“A lot of gratitude, a lot of gratitude,” Brady said.
“I had two decades of incredible, life-altering experiences.
I have so many memories from my time there and memories with people there, and I’m creating a new memory with the people there.
And to go back to that stadium and bring my kids and my family in a different way, you know, I’ve not been to that stadium in this way ever.
“I went there as a player, I went there once as a competitor, and now I’m gonna go there as really a fan.
And then I’m gonna be there in the future as a broadcaster.
So I love the sport and I love the Patriots, so going up there to see a lot of my friends and family is gonna be really a great experience.”
For Tom Brady, the feeling of not being a part of the ongoing football season must be strange and unfamiliar.
Since he was a teenager, the football field has been an integral part of his life.
Now, as the train pulls out of the station without him, Brady faces the reality of adjusting to a new chapter in his life.
“Thirty-two years, man” Brady said. “Thirty-two years. High school, college, and then obviously 20 years in New England.”
Nevertheless, Brady while in attendance during the game, will notice that he could still outperform current NFL quarterbacks like Jones.
