Tom Brady: NFL great retires after winning seven Super Bowls
'The greatest professional athlete we have seen'
"Tom Brady should be the first player in history to be in the Hall of Fame while he's still playing," two-time Super Bowl champion Osi Umenyiora told BBC One after Brady won his seventh ring in February 2021. "What this man has done is almost beyond belief, almost beyond words. I cannot describe the level of difficulty, what it took for this man to do what he's done.
"Every single year this guy's been doubted, every single year this man rises to the top like a phoenix. This guy is the greatest professional athlete we have seen in history, and this goes for any sport. And I'm not just saying that to be hyperbolic. "What this guy is doing in the quarterback position - the hardest position to play in sports - winning over and over again... my hat's off to this guy."
