Tom Brady's broadcasting career is finally hitting its stride, much like his illustrious playing days. The future Hall of Famer has found a rhythm in breaking down complex plays for Fox Sports' No. 1 NFL broadcast team alongside play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt.
A few days after the Patriots' stunning rally from 28-3 down in Super Bowl LI, Brady matter-of-factly told Peter King that he had figured out how to recognize the intricacies on the field and convey them to viewers in an engaging manner. While his playing career may be behind him, Brady's knowledge of the game is still boundless.
In a recent broadcast, Brady delivered a standout analysis of Lions receiver Isaac TeSlaa's 17-yard touchdown reception against the Packers. He expertly dissected the play, pointing out how TeSlaa and fellow receiver Jameson Williams deviated from their pre-determined plan, ultimately freeing up the latter in the end zone.
Brady's ability to break down complex plays is a key part of his job as an analyst, and he has spent time studying the likes of John Madden and Tony Romo to master this skill. While there are still some rough edges to his broadcasting style β including his occasionally forced attempts at camaraderie with Burkhardt β Brady's knowledge of the game shines through in his delivery.
As he continues to develop as a broadcaster, it will be interesting to see how Brady balances his analytical expertise with a more conversational tone. For now, though, his ability to convey complex football concepts to an audience is undeniable, making him an invaluable asset to Fox Sports' NFL broadcast team.
