Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports to join them as an NFL analyst following his retirement from the NFL. Since then, Brady has been enjoying retirement without a clear timeframe of when he was expected to begin his career with Fox, until recently.
With the start of college football officially underway, Brady appeared on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff in a pre-recorded hype video to show his support for his alma mater Michigan Wolverines:
Hey, I think we've seen this guy before…

Brady was known for his ability to motivate, inspire, and lead on the field during his illustrious 23-year career and he seems prepared to bring these qualities with him to the broadcasting booth. In this video, he is hyping up Michigan and their chances to compete for a National Championship this season.
While it may not have been in the fashion or to the extent in which we expected Brady to debut for Fox, it is encouraging to see. Many have wondered whether or not Brady would show up to Fox at all. Rest assured, because those concerns can now be put to bed as Brady prepares to begin his life after football.
If Brady’s video was any indication, expectations in Ann Arbor are sky-high for the Wolverines this coming season. “Look, Coach Harbaugh’s got all his pieces back. He’s got a blue-chip quarterback in JJ McCarthy. A two-headed monster in the backfield… And we’ve got a loaded defense,” Brady stated in his video.
One of the most notable University of Michigan alumni, you can hear the excitement in Brady’s voice when he speaks about his old school. “… I hate to ruin this for everyone else, but this is Michigan’s year,” said Brady.
Whether he’s right or not, this is only the beginning for Brady and his broadcasting career with Fox.
