Watch Tom Brady Take Down Mr. Beast's Drone With a Football on His First Try
Love him or hate him, you have to admit there's a reason why Tom Brady is considered to be the greatest quarterback in NFL history. In the latest offering from YouTuber Mr. Beast, the 45-year-old showed off his impressive throwing skills—and in doing so, may have poured gasoline on the rumors that he's thinking about coming out of retirement for the second time.
In the video posted to YouTube on Saturday, Mr. Beast took his subscribers on a tour of an array of yachts ranging from a $1 boat he bought from a guy who didn't feel like paying to keep it in storage any longer to a $1 billion super yacht. On the higher end of that scale was Brady's $300,000 million yacht, featuring an onboard barber shop, screening room, and helicopter pad, among other features.
While visiting Brady's yacht, Mr. Beast—whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson—asked the five-time Super Bowl MVP if he could take down his drone in midair with a football. "All right, if I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement," Brady quipped.
And wouldn't you know it, Brady clipped the drone's wing on the first try, knocking it right out of the air.
In March of 2022, Brady famously came out of retirement just 40 days after announcing his plans to step down from the NFL, following two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But after a disappointing final season, he announced his retirement again, supposedly "for good," in February 2023. However, despite plans to lead NFL coverage for Fox Sports starting in 2024, rumors of Brady coming out of retirement for a second time have never lost momentum.
Back in March, Brady jokingly responded to the chatter with a joke about adopting a two-month-old kitten for his daughter.
Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a 2 month old kitten for their daughter. https://t.co/Qzf2H4vr1j

Can we consider this confirmation that Brady might not be counted out just yet? Time will tell, and fans will certainly be waiting on bated breath.
