TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW

Tom Brady Says Son May Not Keep Playing Football, and That’s Cool With Him

Brady’s 15-year-old son had previously played quarterback like his dad, but Brady said he’s thinking about dropping the sport.

Tom Brady’s son might not follow in the steps of his dad’s football career, and that’s alright with him. The recently retired Patriots and Buccaneers legend and new part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders told People in a new interview that his 15-year-old son, Jack, might not return to the field next season. “He played this last year and I don’t even know if he’s going to play next year,” Brady told People in a new interview. “And to be honest, whatever he chooses, I’ll be very happy.” Brady previously told the SiriusXM podcast Let's Go with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray that his son was playing at quarterback and safety. If Jack does opt out of continuing football, it doesn’t mean his athletic career is over; he also loves basketball and lacrosse, Brady said.
