Tom Brady retirement reaction: 'Greatest of all time. No question, no debate'
Tom Brady announced his retirement Wednesday morning, a year after a similar announcement led to his eventual return to the NFL and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This time, he said in a video posted to social media, it's "for good."
Tributes poured in from all corners of the sports world and beyond for the seven-time Super Bowl champion many consider the greatest of all time. Fellow NFL stars such as Josh Allen, Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr. as well as legends of other sports like David Beckham, Serena Williams and Michael Phelps commented tributes and well wishes on Brady's Instagram video.
"I'm getting teary eyed watching this," Williams said. "Sad to see you go. Welcome to the retirement world… again."
