What has it been like transitioning to a job after playing?
How was Tim Tebow as a teammate?
Who would you take with the first pick in the draft this year?
What is it like playing QB in the NFL?

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

Which coaches were great and which ones were terrible (Brady is very honest!)
Why Charlie Weis made Brady feel “invincible”
That Eric Mangini doesn’t understand Quarterbacks
How not playing football can be compared to watching the love of your life with someone else (great quote from Brady)
