NFL legend Tom Brady has announced for the second time that he is retiring.
Speaking on a video on Twitter, the midfielder said: “I knew this process last time was a pretty big deal, so when I woke up this morning I thought to just press record and let you already know.”
“You just get a super emotional retirement essay, and I used up my essay last year.”
He announced last year that he was leaving the sport after more than two decades, before join backup with Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season.
Brady, 45, is the sport’s all-time touchdown scorer, with 649, and the player with the most yards (89,214). He’s also the only player in NFL history to win more than five Super Bowls.
