It’s been 18 months since Tom Brady retired from football, and yet the question of whether or not his NFL career is really over still remains.
Of course, this is largely due to design.
With the help of his own production company, Brady released a vlog of his recent European vacation with his daughter Vivian, during which he teased a possible return.
When asked off-camera why he was “flaunting it for social media” by filming his shirtless workouts, Brady, 47, claimed current NFL players are his target audience.
“I just want to make sure all those young guys in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement, they’d still have something to deal with,” said Brady, who is seen throwing footballs off the back of a yacht.

Someone off-camera asked Brady why he is “showing off for social media” with his workouts.
Brady jumped off some cliffs into the sea, but appeared to be unharmed.
Of course, Brady probably wasn’t suggesting he would return.
Rather, he’s saying he’s physically capable of doing it, which is a far cry from signing with an NFL team and going through another arduous training camp.
Brady has been in the public eye for more than two decades, but he shows no signs of becoming camera-shy as he approaches 50. Instead, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is embarking on a 10-year, $375 million deal to announce NFL games for Fox Sports.
And of course, Brady also has a business empire that includes his nutrition brand, TB12, and his film company, 199 Productions.
As if that wasn’t enough, Brady has also been building homes in Southern California and South Florida.
But as for his European vacation, the New England Patriots legend attended several events alongside Vivian. The couple also took the opportunity to meet some members of the US basketball team, including 1.88-meter-tall Anthony Davis.
“You look small,” Vivian told the 6-foot-4 Brady during the meeting.
“Oh, thank you,” he replied.
