At 47 years old, Tom Brady might be retired from the NFL, but his throwing arm and shredded physique suggest he could still hold his own on the field. The legendary quarterback, who wrapped up his career in 2023 after 23 seasons and seven Super Bowl titles, continues to amaze fans—not just as a commentator but as someone who still looks game-ready.
From the Field to the Booth
Brady’s rookie season as a color commentator for Fox Sports has kept him close to the game, and with the NFL playoffs kicking off this weekend, he’s gearing up for a different kind of pressure. While he won’t be tasked with leading a game-winning drive, Brady acknowledged on Instagram that he still feels the excitement that comes with playoff football.
“The playoffs roll around, and you can’t help but feel how the ‘ol arm feels ?,” Brady captioned a video of himself throwing passes on the beach with his sons, Jack and Ben.
Still Throwing Like a Pro
The video shows Brady dropping back, surveying the imaginary field, and launching a deep throw with the precision and power that made him a legend. While the video cuts off before the ball lands, fans can only assume the pass was a perfect spiral, as has become synonymous with Brady’s career.
Brady’s mechanics, honed over decades of dominance with the New England Patriots (six Super Bowl wins) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (one Super Bowl win), appear as sharp as ever. His beachside workout with his sons serves as a reminder that greatness doesn’t fade easily.

A New Kind of Role
As the playoffs begin, Brady will be watching from the Fox Sports booth, bringing his unparalleled insight to the games rather than participating in them. While he admitted to still getting a bit of game-day adrenaline, he seems content with his new role.
Still, fans can’t help but wonder: could Brady step in if a playoff team suffered an injury? Even at 47, his arm strength and football IQ remain elite, and his fitness routine—one he recently shared to help others “lose the dad bod”—has kept him in top condition.
The Legacy Continues
Brady’s beachside throwing session is more than just a family moment; it’s a testament to his enduring love for the game and his commitment to staying in peak shape.
Whether he’s inspiring the next generation of quarterbacks or tossing a football with his sons, Brady continues to prove why he’s one of the greatest to ever play the game.
While the NFL playoffs will go on without him under center, Brady’s presence—both in the booth and on social media—keeps fans and players alike reminded of the dedication, precision, and passion that defined his legendary career.
