Tom Brady might be retired, but comeback speculation might never cease.
The former New England Patriots quarterback is set for a broadcasting career at FOX and has multiple other business ventures. But the 46-year-old has previously shown he still can sling it, and proved Thursday he’s still got some wheels.
As part of his partnership with No Bull, Brady released a video of his preparation trying to surpass his infamous combine performance 24 years ago. The Michigan product ran a 5.28 40-yard dash at the 2000 NFL Scouting Combine, which was a contributing factor to why he fell to 199th overall.
Brady took a shot at redemption, and clocked a 5.18 and 5.12 on the two stopwatches tracked. Whichever time you want to count, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer beat out his old time.
The video featured clips of Brady throwing during his combine workout, too. There also was a clip of 22-year-old Brady overlayed over the retired quarterback’s 40-yard dash to show how much faster he is today than he was 24 years ago.
Brady always has preached fitness and nutrition, and his diet now probably is better than it was when he arrived in the NFL. His new 40-yard dash time was a good way to promote his lifestyle.
