Brady's move comes weeks after he confirmed he would retire from the NFL after 22 seasons. "The future is exciting," he said at the time. "I am going to take it day by day. I know for sure I want to spend a lot of time giving to others and trying to enrich other people's lives, just as so many have done for me." Prior to his retirement, Brady has played himself in a few projects over the years, including Ted 2 and Entourage. Most recently, he was a producer on a documentary series about himself called Man in the Arena.
