Tom Brady 'doesn't have the personality' to be a good NFL analyst with seven-time Super Bowl winner set to begin his $375million deal with Fox

Tom Brady doesn't have the personality to be a good NFL analyst, according to one veteran broadcaster.

Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is set to begin his mammoth 10-year contract with Fox next season that will see him earn $375million.

The 46-year-old has yet to prove his credentials with the microphone but it's hoped his 22 years of experience as an NFL quarterback will make Fox's games must-see viewing for audiences.

The pressure will be on Brady to perform almost immediately alongside play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt because he's replacing Greg Olsen, who's earned plenty of praise for his work with Fox.

But legendary radio talk-show host Mike Francesa believes Brady will struggle as an analyst because the role requires a 'unique quality' that he doesn't possess.

When asked for his thoughts on Brady in the booth during a listener email segment on his BetRivers podcast, Francesa said: 'I don't think his heart is in it.

'I don't think his personality is such. I don't think he's going to be great at it. I really don't.

'I think there's a unique quality that you have to bring that allows you as an analyst to see the game, see the game quickly, plus bring personality into it.

'It's a tricky job for the analyst in football because you're going to spend a lot of time over replay. 

'You're going to spend a lot of time breaking down what happens on replay. And you also have to be very personable and glib in how you do it. I don't see him there.'

Although a spot in the Fox booth awaits, Brady has teased a possible return to the NFL at the age of 46. 

Brady said earlier this month, when on an episode of 'DeepCut', that he was 'not opposed' to listening to an NFL team if they wanted him to sign with them.

Brady has already retired twice from the NFL, in February 2022 and February 2023. 

His first retirement lasted 40 days, with his current stay away from football at over 14 months. The difference with his two retirements was filing his retirement papers to the NFL and NFLPA nine days after his second retirement.

Brady posted a second retirement hint in a message on X, where he said '50k likes and I'll u̶n̶r̶e̶t̶i̶r̶e̶ grow it back out' in regards to an old haircut.
