Tom Brady is just one NFL offseason away from making his long-awaited debut calling games for Fox Sports, but legendary sports broadcaster Bob Costas thinks the former quarterback would be better served in another role.
During a recent interview with the New York Post, Costas shared that he thinks the network should use Brady as an in-studio analyst.
“They didn’t ask me, and I don’t expect them to, but if I were running it, I’d use him in the studio rather than on games,” Costas told the Post.
When asked why, Costas expounded.
“The glamour factor, the on-camera factor,” he continued. “And also, it’s less of a strain on him. The level of preparation to work a game and what it takes to get the hang of it, it’s just an easier fit in the studio.”

Brady is no stranger to preparation and hard work, having won seven Super Bowls over a 23-season pro career. But clearly, Costas thinks Brady’s skill set as a broadcaster will be best utilized on camera.
