Tom Brady, the former decorated NFL player, is preparing for his next big role at Fox Sports as an analyst. After signing a $375 million deal with the network, the seven-time Super Bowl winner and superstar quarterback will take the helm of the booth as a commentator.
He will take the place of Greg Olsen, who was the number one voice of Fox Sports and had collected impressive recognition in his short career at the network. This has marked one of the biggest changes in the sports broadcasting era.
In one of the recent episodes of “The Pat McAfee Show” the five-time Super Bowl MVP shared how he was getting on with the next exciting chapter of his life. According to the NY Post, he shared, “I’ve been out to Fox Studios a few times and done some really dry runs with Kevin, who’s tremendous at what he does. I’m super excited to join an amazing team.”
The former quarterback of the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is getting ready to share his insights with a much wider audience. From his remarks, it is evident that the illustrious player is making every effort to get into shape for his next career move.

He also shared, “I’ve had 23 years of just observing, and I get to go on now and speak to a wider audience, and I used to use my body and my brain out there and people would see me, kind of lead the team down the field and now I get to do that in a different way using my voice.”
The spot that Brady will fill in the upcoming season was impressively handled by Olsen, who achieved great fame with the role. His Super Bowl calling was especially what took the former player far in the professional lines of the broadcast. He was also awarded a Sports Emmy Award in the category for outstanding personality for emerging on-air talent.
Regarding Olsen, whose compensation would decrease by a big difference if he chose to remain with the network, Brady expressed elated words: “I think Greg’s done an incredible job, I have so much respect for him, how he approaches his job. He’s super prepared in what he does, I think he does an incredible job every time he’s on, I love listening to him.”
Further sharing: “I’m just going to go in there and do the best I can do with my own perspective and I certainly have had a unique vision and perspective of the game of 23 years and hopefully I just can provide some insights to all the viewers and all the fans who love the game.”
