The idea for former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's documentary came on the eve of Super Bowl LIII, a game in which they knocked off the Los Angeles Rams.

According to producer Gotham Chopra, he was expecting to do a documentary on Brady's season leading up to Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Brady decided that he didn't want to film in Minneapolis.

Chopra was concerned heading into Super Bowl LIII, but Brady made it clear that it wouldn't happen again, and he wanted to film the leadup:

“He was just a very different person,” Chopra said to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. “He had a perspective going into that game, he was reminiscing about the prior season and everything he’d learned across that season, across that Super Bowl, in losing that game. He was like, Trust me, tomorrow, I’ll be ready. He’d managed to really almost encode himself with the failure of the prior year, and it had given him some perspective going into this game. And again, it was very different.”

Not only did the loss to the Eagles change Tom Brady on the field, but it also changed him as a father and a husband:

“What he told me about that Eagles loss, it was dealing with it as a father, dealing with it as a husband. He was a very different person than with the Giants losses, he had a different perspective that I think poised him for that game. I thought, ‘Wow, it’s really interesting how a guy who’s still at it is learning like that.’ Because he’s like [Michael] Jordan, he’s incomparable. There’s no one else who has that story, has that perspective.”

The Michael Jordan documentary on ESPN was intense and eye-opening, and Brady's should be no different. Getting an inside look at one of the best NFL players in history will be special.
