Twitter reacts to Tom Brady retiring
For the second time — and final time it appears — Tom Brady retired from the NFL on Wednesday.
Brady sent out a heartfelt message on Twitter sharing he was retiring for good.
The former Michigan football quarterback turned into the GOAT in the pros. Brady played 20 years with the New England Patriots and three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The former sixth-round pick in 2000 finished his career with seven Super Bowl rings. Brady was a five-time Super Bowl MVP and three-time NFL MVP.
Brady ends his career ranked first-all time in the following categories:
Wins: 251
Pro Bowls: 15
Super Bowl MVP Awards: 5
Completions: 7,753
Attempts: 12,050
Passing Yards: 89,214
Passing Touchdowns: 649
While this is the second time Brady has announced his retirement, this time it feels like it’s the final one. Of course, there were a ton of reactions on social media after Brady announced his farewell.
Here are the best reactions from Twitter.

The greatest of all time, for the second time in two offseasons but this time for good, steps away. My understanding is family considerations played a major role in this decision. Tom Brady wanted to play until 45.
And now retires.

Imagine hanging at your hotel in Florida on a Wednesday morning and you see some man in a gray shirt down on the beach just recording a selfie video.
