In Brady’s first season with Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers won Super Bowl 55, giving Brady a record seventh Super Bowl ring. He was also named the MVP of the Super Bowl for the 5th time in his career.
Brady finished the 2021 season with 5,316 passing yards and 43 touchdowns. He completed 67.5% of his passes, his best completion rate since a 16-0 season with the Patriots in 2007.
One of his favorite targets since arriving in Tampa Bay, Mike Evans, who is widely receptive, says he doesn’t have anything to say to Brady about trying to convince him to stay. at least another campaign.
“He was always on his own. He knew what he wanted,” says Evans. “Hopefully we’ll bring him back next year.”
