In the 2022 NFL preseason, Tom Brady was absent during 11 days of practice, which is very unusual for him. His teammates were very supportive with it, but the rumors started emerging about a possible ā€˜special treatment’ towards the quarterback.

ā€œHe works as hard as anybody,ā€ Todd Bowles told reporters about Tom Brady, per The Tampa Bay Times. ā€œSpecial treatment, there’s been a few guys that have missed some meetings and some practices for special things that just doesn’t get publicized because they’re not him. It kind of comes with the territory. Don’t worry about it too much.ā€

Bowles knows that Brady is under the spotlight every single minute, and TB12 is giving the rumors something to talk about. His vacations during the preseason, his in-season off days and the special permission he received to attend Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s wedding are some of those ā€˜special needs’ they are talking about because he didn’t have those in the past.

And of course there is the football topic. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay has not been as dominant this year as it was suposed to be, with Tom Brady being the obvious target as the main reason why they are not performing well.
