Ryan Mayer New England Patriots QB Tom Brady remains at the top of the football world despite entering his 40s. He’s coming off a season in which he made his seventh Super Bowl appearance and threw for over 4,500 yards with the third-highest completion percentage (66.3) of his career. Yet, when a photo surfaced of him shirtless online late last week, his accomplishments didn’t shield him from Internet users calling him out of shape. I’m old and out of shape and somehow look just as good as Tom Brady https://t.co/NlPtRtZDX4 — Jason Fegadel (@JFegadel) July 17, 2018 Tom Brady lying about his diet his body is TRASH still lol — BEAST (@MonstaKakarot) July 18, 2018 Wait.
