Drumroll, please……
Sports Illustrated has named their 2021 Sportsperson of the Year and the honor goes to none other than former Michigan QB, Tom Brady.
This is the second time Brady has earned this honor as he also earned it 16 years ago.
From Sports Illustrated:
“I’d say there are parts of me that are 55, and I think there’s parts of me that are 25,” says Brady. “What parts? I think I’m wise beyond my years. I think I’ve had a lot of life experience packed into 44 years. When I go through the tunnel and onto the field? Probably mid-30s—and I’ve got to work really hard to feel good. It’s a demolition derby every Sunday. I feel 25 when I’m in the locker room with the guys. Which is probably why I still do it.”
Congrats, Tom!
