Tom Brady
Tom Brady he did not recover from his knee surgery this offseason as quickly as he did after the 2008 season when he broke his ligaments.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback played with a sprained ligament throughout 2020 and operated on after the Super Bowl. Six months after the operation, he spoke about the challenges he faced in an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday.
“When you’re a while without playing and you don’t train like you do it’s always hard, because the body calls you to train, and you feel when you’re inactive,” Brady told SiriuXM, via JoeBucsFan.com. “And it’s hard when you start moving again. Your body screams at you that pair, that it’s not ready to exercise again. When I started training again it was hard for me to get used to it again. So I had to put in a lot of effort, even at the beginning of the workouts with the team, to get the rhythm back in my legs and the rhythm of this sport.
CBS Sports Boston described the difference between Brady’s recovery in 2020 and 2008 as water and oil, as Brady was 31 in 2008. He broke ties in the first game of the season when he played for the New England Patriots and recently returned to play in 2009.
Brady doesn’t slow down
Brady has played without slowing down in training since his operation, especially on August 11 when he completed across the playing field. Pewter Report has detailed this workout his long passes completed, notes, and plays he was making on the fly.
“It was brilliant,” Arians said. according to Pewter Report. “He made the boys play. He was very successful. It was a typical day at the Brady.”
But Brady needed four months of rehab to get back to having a “typical day at Brady’s,” which he didn’t downplay in the interview with Sirius XM.
“It was a tough offseason when it comes to rehab … But now I feel like I’m – not from a rehab standpoint, but from a sports standpoint – active and ready to play,” Brady said. through JoeBucsFan.com. “My arm is fine.”
Brady’s rigorous training routine
Brady performs a compact and rigorous workout routine at the training center, which Greg Auman of The Athletic says details of what he saw in the practice of the 12th of August. The Bucs quarterback starts warming up and then works with offensive players in different situations before resting a bit during the special teams session. Brady then participates in more 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions with offensive players followed by individual workouts after practice, Auman described.
“When it’s 95 degrees, you have to put on your uniform and helmet, you have to understand the coverages, and in mental fatigue and sleep, one needs a lot of conditioning,” Brady told SiriusXM about workouts using JoeBucsFan.com. “It’s a challenge, even for someone like me, that I’ve been doing this for many years. I think that’s why I love this sport. It’s a constant mental, physical and emotional challenge. You have to live up to every day.
