This season, a large number of potential stars will make their debuts as NFL rookies, and it could prove to be one of the greatest draft classes in league history.
But there is another debut people are really looking forward to: legendary quarterback Tom Brady getting his start as a broadcaster for Fox.
Tony Romo, another former star QB who then became a broadcaster on Fox, said on “CBS Mornings” that he thinks it’s “great” that Brady is going into that line of work and feels he will do well.
Brady is considered the greatest quarterback and overall player in football history, which means he should have some unique insight into the game and its technical breakdown.
He retired after the 2022 season, which also means he should have plenty to say about plenty of the league’s current players.
Despite the hate Brady got during his career from some fans who were tired of his New England Patriots winning championship after championship, he seems to be an engaging and energetic personality who can get along well with a broadcast partner.
He will team up with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt to form Fox’s No. 1 crew for NFL telecasts, and he will reportedly be paid $375 million over 10 years to do so.
The first game Brady will do will take place in Week 1 of the regular season on Sept. 8 when the Dallas Cowboys face off against the Cleveland Browns.
He made an appearance during the broadcast of the United Football League (UFL) championship game several weeks ago, and he seemed to be very comfortable and adept at his new career.
