Per Brady, he has planned for it for several months now. Though it affects his schedule, he opts to hold informal workouts this year to make small progress.

"As soon as I'm ready to throw, that will be really important for me," he added. "That's always a big part of my preparation -- actually doing what my job is."

The upcoming 2021 NFL season will be his second year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since he first signed up in 2020. He previously played with New England Patriots for two decades.

His football stint now makes him the oldest player to earn a championship ring in the history of the NFL. Brady is expected to make his record even harder to beat by playing with the Buccs for the next coming years.

In March, he signed for an extension of the contract with the Florida NFL team. Under his new family, he broke another two records during the Super Bowl LV - the NFL's oldest active player and most games played.
