Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, but his children are free to choose their own paths.

Brady said he hopes his son finds a career that makes him motivated to work hard, which does not necessarily have to be football.

"I hope he finds the things in his life that allow him to get up every day to be internally motivated to work hard at something he loves to do," Brady said. "I don’t think football . . . a lot of it, I wouldn’t choose for him to do that, because there’s too many crazy expectations that people would put on him. Most of them probably very unfair, actually. 

"So, whatever path he chooses in life – or my son Benny or my daughter Vivi – whatever they choose, I’m there to support them, just like my dad supported me. I was very lucky to find something that I loved to do."
