Within minutes of Tom Brady announcing his retirement, the social media tributes came pouring in.
While the announcement has been expected over the last week, the seven-time Super Bowl winner made things official via his Instagram account Tuesday.
“I have always believed the sport of football is an ‘all-in’ proposition—if a 100% competitive commitment isn't there, you won't succeed, and success is what I love so much about our game,” Brady wrote. “There is a physical, mental, and emotional challenge EVERY single day that has allowed me to maximize my highest potential. And I have tried my very best these past 22 years. There are no shortcuts to success on the field or in life.
