Tom Brady is suiting up for his 10th career Super Bowl, except this time he won't be wearing a New England Patriots uniform after he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason.
However, Patriots fans seem to be backing their former signal-caller, and Brady shared his thoughts on the âincredible supportâ he has received in his first year away from New England:

Whenever a player leaves his longtime team to play elsewhere there are mixed responses, but Brady doubled down and said the support and love have been âincredibleâ in his first year as a Buccaneer.

While it's never easy leaving a team after so much time in the same place, Brady left to Tampa Bay and has this Buccaneers team just one game away from their first Super Bowl title in nearly 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs will look to repeat as Super Bowl champions, and Patrick Mahomes is the talk of the NFL and the heir apparent to Brady as the best quarterback in the league. It's going to be quite the matchup.
For Tom Brady, another Super Bowl win, which would be lucky number seven, would just increase his legacy and further implant his name in the GOAT conversation.
