Peter King: Tom Brady 'Quietly' Works on Calling NFL Games in Booth for Fox TV Debut

A year removed from his retirement, Tom Brady is now gearing up to make his broadcast debut.

The legendary quarterback is set to begin his commentating career this fall, calling games for Fox's NFL broadcasts. Per NBC Sports' Peter King, Brady has "quietly" been preparing for his new adventure.

"Tom Brady's going to be very good in the Fox booth," King wrote. "Well, he should be for $37 million a year, or whatever it is. Quietly, Brady's been working over the last five months, getting used to doing games in the booth, and learning from people he admires in TV."

Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox that will put him in the booth with the network's No. 1 play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. With the lofty contract comes great expectations for the seven-time Super Bowl winner.

King has faith that Brady's tremendous work ethic on the field will translate to success in the booth.

"Remember one thing about Tom Brady: He was handed nothing in the NFL," King wrote. "Everything he got he earned. And he knew when he signed this ridiculous contract he'd have every eye in football on him when the job began in September 2024. Do you think he hasn't knocked himself out to be sure he knows the rhythm and the cadence and the information patterns of doing color? Now that doesn't guarantee he'll be good. I just think he's smart, and he knows what it'll take to be good, and when he has to call out a friend in the game, he'll find a way to do it."

Brady has already had one of the greatest football careers of all time, but now he's going into his rookie season in the broadcasting booth and starting from square one. If Brady's mentality when it came to playing football continues into his broadcast career, he should excel in his new endeavor.
