This 2022 NFL season has been significant for Brady as he is battling through serious physical and mental battles after coming back from retirement in mid-March.
Physically, Brady is 45 years old and is having to play with an offensive line of Tampa Bay that has been hit hard with injuries. Mentally, there have been serious battles that Brady has had to deal with. One battle he had to go through was having to adjust to back to football after missing a portion of the training camp due to an excused previous request.
Brady and the Buccaneers (1-0) are set to take on the New Orleans Saints (1-0) this Sunday.
