“I thought it will just heal, but…”: Tom Brady says he was in “excruciating pain” throughout last season due to a knee injury

Tom Brady
Tom Brady is a champion, the kind of player who multiplies the popularity of the sport many folds. Passing yards, completions, touchdown passes, or games started, the man has got numbers that seem too good to be true in almost all facets of the game. Not long ago, Tom Brady shocked the NFL world when he announced that he is retiring from the sport.
It felt like an era has ended. However, Brady shocked the world yet again when he decided to return to his favorite sport in a matter of weeks and is now all set to lead the Bucs in the coming season.

“Last year was pretty tough”: Tom Brady

Although Brady had a decent season last time around, he recently opened up about how tough it was for him because of the MCL reconstruction. “Last year was pretty tough, just from basically having the MCL reconstruction, and I basically tore it in my last season in New England and I went the whole offseason with a torn MCL,” Brady said, as reported by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Brady said that he decided not to get a reconstruction as he thought it would just heal. “I didn’t do anything. The following year, I just taped it, basically, every day. And then finally getting it reconstructed last year, it felt for the first time this offseason, it’s been really good,” he stated.
“It’s been fun just to kind of, you know, run around a little bit,” Brady claimed in a news conference ahead of the highly anticipated golf event in which he’ll be teaming up with Aaron Rodgers to take on young QBs Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. “Work on some sprinting stuff. I know Aaron has probably rushed for more yards in a game than I have my whole career,” he said.
“For me, it’s been kind of interesting to be able to train in certain ways. Like, a single leg jump. I haven’t done a single leg jump in I don’t know how many years, because I couldn’t do it because I never wanted my knee to be unweighted, because it was just kind of wiggling around. It’s been good this year to do it,” he further added.
Brady looks super fit and ready to go and the Bucs would be hoping to see him rule the game yet again.
