Tampa Bay Buccaneers players as Star Wars characters

Tom Brady: Darth Vader

Tom Brady has spent the majority of his career hated by the entirety of Tampa Bay and the rest of the NFL. Brady has often been this monstrous obstacle to overcome to win a Super Bowl and has been one of the best villains in the history of the NFL.

There is no better comparison to Tom Brady than Darth Vader, one of the greatest movie villains of all time. Vader may show his face off a little bit less than the often-smiling Brady, but don’t let Brady’s pleasant demeanor fool you.

Tom Brady is ruthless while he is on the field. The greatest quarterback of all time never takes his foot off the gas and is willing to step on the throat of his competitors to win.

Brady may have been a villain for the majority of his career, but as of recent, he has turned away from the Dark Side of the force and is looking for a little bit redemption.

The former New England Patriot has turned his back on Emperor Belichick and has an opportunity to find redemption in the eyes of the NFL as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.

Much like Darth Vader coming in to save Luke, Tom Brady’s decision mostly came as a surprise, but in the end, this could be just the move that was necessary to save the Buccaneers and propel the franchise forward.
