Tom Brady Has Confirmed He had COVID-19

Not even the GOAT can avoid contracting COVID-19. Tom Brady confirmed to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that he had COVID-19 following the Super Bowl Parade.

All of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached 100% vaccination per Bruce Arians, but Brady believes that the virus is going to be a bigger problem during this season, more so than last season. Brady told Rick Stroud, “I think it’s going to be challenging this year. I actually think it’s going to play more of a factor this year than last year, just because of the way what we’re doing now and what the stadium is going to look like and what the travel is going to look like and the people in the building and the fans. It’s not like last year, although we’re getting tested like last year. It’s going to be; I definitely think guys are going to be out at different points, and we’ve just got to deal with it.”

The Buccaneers open up the 2021 NFL season in their home opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September the 9th in a stadium that will be filled to the brim with cheering fans. As they embark on their journey to a repeat Super Bowl victory, the Buccaneers will have to follow NFL COVID-19 procedures to the letter as well as the ones Bruce Arians implemented. Hopefully, teams are not as set back by the virus as many fear, and the waters are set for smooth sailing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
