Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is retiring after 22 seasons in the National Football League.
Widely considered to be the greatest player of all-time, Brady has won 7 Super Bowl championships, one more than any individual franchise has accomplished, and 5 Super Bowl MVP awards.
I think it's clear that not only is he a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but he gets in on a unanimous vote.
Brady's post-retirement life will include time spent with several businesses he owns, as well as a supermodel wife and three children.
Brady is the second future Hall-of-Fame quarterback to announce his retirement this postseason; Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers is also stepping down. There's speculation that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers might, as well.

Off topic, but as someone who did attend the NFL game in London, the biggest cheer in the stadium during the first three (admittedly dire) quarters was everytime highlights from Jacksonville v Dallas was shown on the big screen.
