Tom Brady jokes about ending NFL retirement while nailing a drone

April 2024 · 2 minute read

Tom Brady should know better than to bet against himself.

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” Tom Brady said in a video collaboration with Mr. Beast, where he challenged Brady to throw a football at a drone from his yacht.

Sure enough, Brady cocked his right arm back like we’ve seen him do for two decades and threw the ball to the perfect location, hitting the drone on the right wing.

He later delivered a pass to a friend on a jet ski, but the pass ended up being dropped by the would-be receiver.

The video also featured Brady warming up on the boat for the big throw.

The 45-year-old Brady, who won seven Super Bowls, retired in an emotional video in February when he said he was “retiring for good” from the NFL.

He has primarily not backed off his retirement stance – but a few Dolphins rumors emerged as their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health became increasingly uncertain.

For now, he seems perfectly content spending time with his children, as they were present for this video collaboration with the 25-year-old Mr. Beast — YouTuber and philanthropist Jimmy Donaldson.

The video ended up smashing records immediately on YouTube, as the video became the second most-viewed video in the platform’s history.

The video took place on Mr. Beast’s $300 million yacht that Brady pulled up to with his kids.
