After 22 seasons, the man whom many consider the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady has officially announced his retirement. Brady’s announcement came via an Instagram post Tuesday morning. A sixth-round pick out of Michigan, Brady retires as a seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time league MVP, and the holder of every major passing record, including: wins by a quarterback, and the lead in career passing touchdowns, yards, and completions. Fun fact: the Saints are the only division team to sweep Brady during his career, and they did it twice. Enjoy the retirement, TB12.
