The Facts: Brady isn't going out with his last NFL pass a pick-6. The New England Patriots quarterback reiterated on Instagram that he plans to continue his career in 2020. "In both life and football, failure is inevitable," he wrote. "You don't always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again. And that's right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove."
Diehards Line:
It seems like a reach to believe that a player with six Super Bowl rings has soemething to prove, but we've known Brady has been a uniquely driven individul for a long time. He's shown time and time again he'll use any slight as motivation. The way his season ended, with an offense that never found its footing and questions about whether the 42-year-old could still lift a team, provided TB12 plenty of juice to get him through another offseason. Brady will return in 2020, that much is clear.Now the question that will engulf the sport for the next several months is where the soon-to-be free agent will play. We'll be watching for more.
