Tom Brady built a Hall of Fame career by showing up every Sunday. He expects Las Vegas Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza to do the same.
Speaking with Liz Kleiman on FOX Business’ “The Klaman Countdown,” Brady wasn’t interested in fueling offseason quarterback fever. As for being a minority owner of the Raiders, Mendoza hasn’t made any money yet.
“Well, I love Fernando, but Fernando is just like any other young rookie,” Brady said.

“He’s got to go out and earn it just like everyone else…none of these young players, none of the rookies, have ever had meaningful success in the NFL.”
For Brady, draft status and offseason hype only go so far.
“Their careers and their path will be defined by the work they put in, the adversity they overcome, the kind of teammates and team players they are,” Brady added.

The 48-year-old recently joined digital health company eMed as its chief health officer, saying he wants to help everyday Americans access the kind of health guidance he has relied on throughout his storied career.
“My body was really my asset as a football player,” Brady recalled.
“So you’re right, I’ve been very fortunate to have mastered a lot of disciplines over a period of time that have allowed me to go out on the field feeling very healthy and energized and excited to go out on the field to try to, you know, win some football games.”
Brady wants to bring the same plan to people who don’t have access to an NFL-level support system.
“But when I retired, I realized that there are a lot of people in life who may not be professional athletes, but to some extent we all lead a sporting lifestyle,” he said. “We want to be healthy. We want to play with our children. We want to play with our grandchildren.”

Brady also praised the impact of GLP-1 drugs in improving people’s health.
“There’s no debate about how this drug works right now in terms of keeping people healthy and starting them on the road to health,” Brady said. “And then we do a great job of keeping them on that journey.”
For Brady, whether his goal is to become a QB1 or improve someone’s health, success comes down to focusing on the fundamentals.

“I realized that a lot of the values that I had as an NFL player translated very well to what happens on the job,” Brady explained. “And it comes down to responsibility, discipline, being considerate of other people, serving other people.”
