Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a rather embarrassing week after being shut out by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, 9-0. It didn't take long for Brady to get over that forgettable performance, though, with the GOAT setting yet another incredible record on Monday night.
The NFL just announced the first five players that have been nominated into the 2022 Pro Bowl and unsurprisingly, Brady was one of them. That's now the 15th time in his career that the Bucs star has been named as a Pro Bowler, which allows him to break the record for the most nominations in NFL history (h/t SportsCenter on Twitter):

Prior to Monday's announcement, Brady was tied at 14 with Peyton Manning, Tony Gonzales, Merlin Olsen, and Bruce Matthews. Right now, though the Buccaneers QB stands all alone as the only 15-time NFL Pro Bowler in league history.
Tom Brady's accolades just keep on growing and what makes all this even more amazing is the fact that he's not done yet. Far from it, actually.
Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts were the other four players that were named alongside Brady.
