Back in 2022, Fox Sports approached Tom Brady with a lucrative 10-year, $375 million deal to become their primary NFL analyst. While the quarterback initially planned to start his broadcasting career last year, he opted instead for a sabbatical year, choosing to begin in 2024.

However, it appears that the extra year of preparation Brady took was insufficient. The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback has now admitted that he isn’t quite ready to launch his broadcasting career.

“I would say yes [I have improved], and I would also say there’s still so much room for improvement,” Brady said in an interview with Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd. “It’s almost like when I was a player, I never felt like I did things the right way. There were games where I would go in afterward and say, ‘Man, I’m the worst quarterback in the NFL.’ … I’m sure I’m going to feel that way at Fox where I finish a game and I go, ‘I didn’t even give them what they wanted.’ It’s a very challenging thing in your own mind.

Did I feel like our crew was prepared? Did I give them the best over the course of the week so we could give ourselves the best opportunity to be successful for the fans?”
