ESPN is making a 9-part Tom Brady documentary, and it should be excellent

Former New England Patriots and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is participating in what will likely be an epic documentary about himself.

ESPN is putting together a nine-part documentary series, “Man in the Arena,” on Brady’s career, which should have astronomical expectations after what the worldwide leader in sports did with their “Last Dance” 10-part documentary or Michael Jordan. Brady is, of course, considered the greatest football player of all time — Jordan is the greatest basketball play ever. So if ESPN can put together a piece as excellent as their series on Jordan, this has tremendous potential.

ESPN released its first trailer on the documentary series on Thursday. Brady shared it on Twitter.

That said, the trailer isn’t exactly stunning. But they have plenty of runway to build more intrigue with juicy morsels.
