Football has been a big part of Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ quarterback Tom Brady‘s life.
He has been playing the game professionally for over two decades and has won seven Super Bowls.
That’s why it was difficult for him to stay retired after their playoff loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams last season.
But during the 2022 NFL Draft, he will focus away from football.
However, as NFL insider Dov Kleiman shared, his activities will still be football-related.
While the NFL world is focused on the NFL Draft today, Tom Brady is busy filming his movie "80s for Brady" with Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

Kleiman shared a picture of Brady being on the set of the upcoming movie “80s for Brady.”
He’s seen in the photo with co-stars Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin.
Brady will play himself and will be producing the movie through 199 Productions.
The road-trip comedy is inspired by a true story of four best friends who went to Super Bowl LI and watched the New England Patriots play the Atlanta Falcons.
Chaos ensued as they navigated the festivities before the big game.
There is no word yet regarding the film’s release, but Paramount Pictures has already acquired the global rights for the film.
Brady’s Unforgettable Draft Day Story
In his final year in Michigan, Brady had a solid season, leading the Wolverines to victory in the Orange Bowl.
Despite that accolade, he didn’t register high on every team’s draft board.
His performance during the Scouting Combine didn’t help his cause either.
Thus, teams passed up until the Patriots selected him with the 199th overall selection in the 2000 draft.
Six quarterbacks were selected before him.
Chris Redman won a Super Bowl but as a backup quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Spergon Wynn and Tee Martin had largely uneventful NFL stints.
Marc Bulger had some successful seasons, but injuries to the players around him derailed his promising career.
Giovanni Carmazzi never played in a regular-season game.
Finally, Chad Pennington had modest success against Brady, but shoulder injuries nagged him throughout his career.
