Tom Brady has announced that he is retiring and now it really is forever.

In 23 years, Brady played 365 games and went from a player that almost no one noticed in the draft to a true legend.

"Good morning everyone, I'll get straight to the point." I am retiring. Forever. I know this all caused a lot of backlash last time and when I woke up this morning I thought – I'll just turn on the camera and tell you first. "You can only retire once with so much emotion and I already took advantage of that last year."

"I thank you all, each and every one of you. My family, friends, teammates, rivals. I could go on and on like that forever. Thank you for making it possible for me to live my dream. I wouldn't change a single thing. I love you all," Brady said in the message.

Brady ends his career with seven championships won and three MVP awards, five Super Bowl MVP awards, numerous championships and broken records.

Truly grateful on this day. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS
