Brady stated: “I think the advice I gave different guys is if they’re looking at their careers. ‘Just make sure you leave it all out there.’ Because you never want to have one drop left and think, ‘Ah, everyone’s out there playing, and I’m sitting up here, and I still feel like I could do it.’ I don’t feel like that. I feel like I’m just super content with my decision and where I’m at in life.”
