Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian gave a shout-out to Tom Brady for his recent speech at the Patriots Hall of Fame event. On Wednesday night, the New England Patriots retired Tom Brady’s No. 12 at Gillette Stadium and celebrated his legacy in a ceremony.
At 46 years old, Brady's net worth is estimated to be around $300M (as per Celebrity Net Worth) and he offered a glimpse into his future as a Fox broadcaster and public speaker. His 20-minute speech included a passionate tribute to football, which was hailed as one of the finest pieces of football evangelism ever heard.
Sarkisian posted a part of his speech on his Instagram story on Thursday. He captioned the story saying:
“THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE!” Sarkisian captioned.
The ceremony honored Brady’s past achievements and also highlighted his potential to inspire future generations in his post-playing career. As a new member of the Patriots Hall of Fame, Brady thanked everyone in his speech, from the coaches to the kitchen staff, he appreciated everyone.
Sarkisian shared the part of Brady’s speech where he encouraged everyone to play football just because it’s hard and it teaches that life is hard.
"I encourage everyone to play football, for the simple reason that it is hard. It's hard when you're young to wake up in the offseason to wake up at 6 am and go workout, knowing that all your friends are sleeping in and eating pancakes.”
“It's hard to throw, catch, block and tackle, and hit kids when they're way bigger and way more developed than you, only to go home that night bruised and battered and strained, but knowing that you have to show up again the next day for just the chance to try again. But understand this, life is hard."

"Your dad loves you more than anything in this world," Brady said. Your smiles outshine the morning sun. And where I live, that's a pretty brilliant sun. There's no greater joy than watching the three of you grow and teach me things on your way to becoming incredible young adults," Brady added.
