Tom Brady wasted no time in preparation for next season.
While the vast majority of the players for the Buccaneers were celebrating their first or second Super Bowl rings, Tom Brady was the one guy who seemed numb to the excitement. Was Brady happy? Absolutely. Everyone saw the legendary videos from the boat parade. But while the rest of his teammates were relishing in a victory, Brady was already preparing to go back.
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Tom Brady was on the phone with one of his assistant coaches the next morning after winning the Super Bowl.
The Bucs hadn’t even been world champions for more than 24 hours, and Brady was already looking towards the next season and the chance to go for ring number eight. Just imagine being that coach.

This attitude has been the stark change that was needed to take the next steps as a franchise. Brady is beyond hungry. Even with the most Super Bowl rings and while being the easiest first-ballot Hall of Fame lock of all time, Brady shows the same hunger that most players display on their hunt to their first ring.
While Super Bowl hangovers are a genuine fear, Brady’s mentality should be enough to keep the Buccaneers on fire for a repeat. Complacency is not a part of Tom Brady’s game, and his future with the Bucs is still extremely bright.
While the rest of us Bucs fans are just reveling in the glory of a Super Bowl win at home against the defending champs, Brady isn’t satisfied yet. As fans, we have deserved a moment and a player like this for a long time, and the future is bright in Tampa for as long as Brady remains.
Regardless of draft picks, free-agent signings, and other coaching decisions, we can all rest assured that Tom Brady is ready to bring the same fire and success next season.
Is a repeat on the horizon? For a player like Brady, it’s always impossible to rule out.
