Throughout history, Tom Brady had dominated the NFL in almost every year of his career. Now, the successful Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is one of the big missing names for the 2023 Pro Bowl as he isn’t parth ofthe NFC roster for this event.

The Pro Bowl is a moment where all the players enjoy of a weekend full of football but without any rivalry. They share moments with members of other teams and play a game between the two Divisions that is basically a skill show.

During his 23 seasons of career, Tom Brady has been called for 15 Pro Bowls. This number proves how dominant he has been, but unfortunately this stat won’t grow as he wasn’t required for the 2023 edition.

But unfortunately, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback won’t defend the NFC in the 2023 Pro Bowl. Eli Manning, who is in charge of coaching the team from this Division, decided not to call Brady this year as he has other options for the job.

For the NFC, Jalen Hurts (Eagles), Geno Smith (Seahawks) and Kirk Cousins (Vikings) appear as the three quarterbacks that will lead their offense in the game against Peyton Manning’s AFC .

Of course there could be some changes in the roster in the next months. If any of those quarterbacks arrive to the Super Bowl, they will be left out of the list and that’s where Tom Brady could raise his hand to get a call by Eli to join them.
