The system of Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians will welcome Tom Brady to an offense that he hasn't exactly seen before. Arians is known to take advantage of aerial attacks, with former quarterback Jameis Winston averaging 10.5 intended air yards per attempt last season. That registered as the second-highest rate in the NFL. The 43 year-old Brady will need to maintain peak arm strength in order for him to thrive in the Bucs' offensive schemes.

The six-time Super Bowl champion told Peter King of NBC Sports:

“I feel really good. I think my arm is strong and is good and is as in-shape as it has ever been. I think every offense demands some different things, and everybody has a different belief on how to move the ball downfield and score points. Again, being in one place and you have that familiarity, which is why I think continuity in the NFL is so important.

Opportunities for Tom Brady to build chemistry with his new teammates during the offseason were limited due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He is now making the most out of a short training camp build-up as Week 1 action will commence in a month's time.

In previous seasons, the Bucs' shallow roster depth prevented them from dominating a stacked NFC South division. The three-time NFL MVP's arrival in Florida gave new hope to a team that is raring to make it back to the playoffs once again.

Division leader New Orleans Saints will be the first test for the new-look Buccaneers as the two teams face on September 13 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
