Many of the men on TV lack it.Simms believes Brady may have completed the most challenging aspect of his continuing career transition already.”It won’t take long once he gets the hang of it,” the CBS Sports commentator said. It’s not like football in the NFL. It’s much simpler.”And he’s got to talk about football, so that’s pretty easy.”Burleson, 42, mirrored his colleague’s remarks. Prior to appearing with Simms on The NFL Today panel in 2017, Burleson played in the NFL for 11 years.Speaking to The U.S. Sun at the opening of the Suter Bowl-focused exhibition at the Paley Center, CBS’s rising star said that Tom Brady just has to be Tom Brady in order to flourish in sports media.Ex-NFL wide receiver “I’ll just say, approach media the same way you approach football,””He’ll assume control just as he did when playing. Tom Brady is one of those athletes who devotes himself fully to any endeavor he does.”Thus, I’m certain that Tom Brady will be OK whenever he enters the booth.”Beginning with the 2024 season, Brady will take Greg Olsen’s spot next to Kevin Burkhardt as the top NFL announcing tandem.
