"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. 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. "This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention. I've done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult questions. And I am so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, and fans deserve 100% of me, but right now, it's best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes." Tom Brady retires from the NFL with: A combined Regular season/Playoff record of 278-85-0 A win percentage of .766% 8,428 completions 13,172 attempts 64.00% completion rate 97,569 passing yards 710 TDs 242 INTs 10x Super Bowl appearances 7x Super Bowl wins 5x Super Bowl MVPs 3x NFL MVPs 2x NFL OPOY 6x All Pro 15x Pro Bowl selection 5x Passing TD leader 4x Passing Yards leader 2x Passer rating leader 2x NFL All Decade team (2000s, 2010s) NFL 100th Anniversary team 2x Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the year And, for the really fun part? Tom Brady: Playoff starts: 47. That's one game shy of 3 full 16-game seasons. Tom Brady played in the NFL for 22 years...but in reality? He played 25 season's worth. Ridiculous. See you in Canton, Tom.
