Tom Brady embracing challenge of 'learning on the fly' in new broadcast role: 'There's no hiding'

History in the making! Tom Brady makes his long-awaited debut in the FOX booth with Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi for a can’t miss season opener as Dak Prescott and the Cowboys take on Deshaun Watson and the Browns. Sunday at 4 Ea...

Tom Brady knows very well how valuable practice reps are during game week, but his new gig on Sundays doesn’t offer the same preparation for the matchup ahead. 

Because of that, Brady knows he’s "learning on the fly" alongside Kevin Burkhardt in the FOX Sports broadcast booth in his first year providing color commentary for "America's Game of the Week."

Fox News Digital caught up with Brady before his Week 4 assignment, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles, where he was candid about how practicing for this role in football is hard when the real thing is happening at kickoff.

"Obviously, it’s improve each week and improve each year," said Brady, who also discussed his partnership with Abbott and the Big Ten Conference for its "We Give Blood Drive." "There’s definitely unique challenges to really a new career role, and I’m learning it on the fly. There’s no hiding. It’s not like there’s really a practice field.

"The only way to do it, you can’t just go into the studio and start repping a practice game. I did that, I did a lot. But it’s a lot different when you’re out there on the 50-yard line and real things are happening in real time."
