Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has the chance to break a bunch of records this upcoming season.
Last year, Tom Brady left the New England Patriots to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to prove that he still had a lot left in the tank. That was evident after he helped lead the Buccaneers to a 31-9 Super Bowl 55 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the seventh time in his career.
Entering the 2021 season at the age of 44, Brady has the chance to break not just one record, but many records. ESPN’s tweet on Saturday showed all of the records that Brady can attain in the next year.
Buccaneers: Tom Brady in good position to break a ton of records this upcoming season
Notching the most completions, passing yards and three-touchdown games seem like locks for Brady to break. Even winning an eighth Super Bowl title is not out of the realm of possibility, considering the majority of last year’s roster is returning for the upcoming campaign. But the most interesting feat will be to see if Brady can beat his former team in the Patriots to officially win a game against all 32 NFL teams.
The Buccaneers face off against the Patriots in Week 4. The Patriots, who missed out on the playoffs last season, made a plethora of free agency signings this offseason and even drafted their potential quarterback of the future in Mac Jones. Even with all of those additions, beating Brady and the powerhouse Buccaneers will not be an easy feat for the Patriots. Yet, we can not gloss over the fact that Brady will also be playing against his former head coach Bill Belichick, who knows the quarterback better than anyone.
Brady has already solidified himself as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. But, he’s going to potentially add more records and accolades to his resume to further make the case.
