Tom Brady: Bucs QB told to play until he gets 10 Super Bowls

Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen has made a bold claim over Tom Brady and how long he believes he will play in the league.

When it comes to Tom Brady’s achievements within the world of football, you could find yourself talking for a good few hours and still find yourself not covering half of what he’s been able to do since he entered the league as a 6th-round pick in 2000.

With 7 Super Bowl trophies, 3 NFL MVP awards and a list of records that seem as if they could go on forever, there isn’t really a lot that he can do in the game that hasn’t been done already both with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

Yet through all of that, he has still managed to find a way to keep himself totally motivated and willing to keep playing, continuing to push the boundaries of what people thought was possible. This year he is getting ready to take part in his 23rd NFL season, a year in which he will be 45 when it kicks off in September.

As stated, there aren’t many records left for Brady to break, but there is one that is well within his sights, and that’s the record for oldest player in the National Football League.

The record is currently held by George Blanda, another former quarterback in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s who ended up playing his last few years as a kicker for the then-Oakland Raiders, he didn’t stop playing until he reached the age of 48.

Brady has previously stated that playing until the age of 50 is a possibility, although did temper those comments by saying “I do think I could play till 50. But I don’t think I will just because I know the commitment that it takes. I know the commitment that it takes for me at 44 and 45.”
