And in addition to trips around the world and new sporting endeavors, Tom’s retired life will also see him take on a new role—sports commentator—after signing a 10-year contract to become Fox Sports lead analyst. A challenge, he said, he’s ready to take on.
“I was very blessed to play for as long as I did,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion noted. “And I loved it. And now I get to see other guys do it, and I also get to see football from a different perspective. I’ll be on Fox next year, so I have a chance to really sit back and watch and learn a different career. You know, I used to watch it from the lens of a quarterback.”
He continued, “Now I see it more from maybe broadcasting, but also as a fan, and then also still from a quarterback. So a few different perspectives to learn, which will be a really fun thing.”
