(TAMPA BAY, FLA) —  Tampa QB Tom Brady has been ranked number one by his peers and he also explains why he’s been M.I.A. from the preseason.

Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is taking home the title of the league’s top player in 2022.

Now 45 years old, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ star topped NFL Network’s annual list of top 100 players, which is voted on by players.

Brady played in the final preseason game after missing the first few explaining that the reason for his absence was “personal and he’s got a lot of sh*t going on.”
