Tom Brady has once again stirred up speculation about a potential return to the NFL after showcasing his iconic throwing ability during a recent practice session and revealing that he’s been dreaming about the Super Bowl.
The legendary quarterback, who retired in February of last year after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from the 2022 playoffs, has been dropping hints about a possible comeback in recent months. Despite his plans to start a new chapter as a Fox Sports analyst, Brady’s latest actions have reignited hopes among fans that he might not be done with football just yet.
This week, Brady took to the field in Miami, where he was seen throwing passes while filming a commercial for the athletics company Nobull. The video, which was shared on his YouTube channel, shows the 47-year-old effortlessly launching the football downfield, a sight that immediately got fans buzzing.
But it wasn’t just his on-field performance that caught attention. In the same video, Brady opened up about a vivid dream he had about the Super Bowl. Interestingly, the dream didn’t involve him playing in the game but rather broadcasting it—a nod to his upcoming $375 million deal with Fox Sports.

“I actually had a crazy dream last night,” Brady says in the video. “The Super Bowl was coming up and I had yet to do a game, and Fox had it. And they called me up and they’re like, ‘Hey dude, you’re gonna do the Super Bowl.’ And it was that day. I was like, ‘That’s kind of f****ng weird though. The Chiefs are in it and I know the Chiefs, and the 49ers are in it and I know them… so I could probably do it.’ And literally I like snapped out of it.”
While the dream involved broadcasting rather than playing, it still fueled the ongoing speculation about whether Brady truly feels ready to leave the gridiron behind.
Earlier this month, Brady further fanned the flames of a potential comeback when he was spotted throwing passes before a preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints in the Bay Area. The viral clip showed Brady casually tossing crisp passes, then walking away with a smile. “I can still throw,” he remarked, shrugging his hands, as if to say that the skills that made him the greatest of all time are still very much intact.
The NFL even got in on the excitement, captioning the video with, “The [goat emoji] still got it.”
Brady’s Fox Sports debut came during the UFL’s championship game in June, but he’s set to make his NFL broadcasting debut on September 8, when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Cleveland Browns. As he prepares to transition into this new role, the question of whether he’ll ever return to the field remains in the air.
As the new NFL season approaches, the debate over Brady’s legacy continues. ESPN recently polled over 100 NFL players, asking who they believe is the greatest quarterback of all time. Brady dominated the poll, receiving an overwhelming 85 votes, with Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes coming in a distant second with just seven votes.
Despite his retirement, Brady’s name remains synonymous with greatness in the NFL. Whether he’s throwing passes on the field or preparing to call games from the broadcast booth, Tom Brady continues to captivate the football world—and his recent actions suggest that the story of his career might not be entirely finished.
