Tom Brady is continuing to enjoy life after retirement, and one of his latest acts as an ex-NFL player is to give back to his community.
On Tuesday, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback made an appearance at Fanatics' partnership launch with Make-A-Wish America at the Barclays Center.
Joining him were Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum and New York Yankees hitter/fielder Aaron Judge.
And judging by the images below, he was very busy on that day, interacting and playing with at least nine children of varying ages:

Tom Brady's fan reaction towards watching games, his choice for successor as league GOAT
It goes without saying that Tom Brady, even in retirement, is still a very busy person. He still has some new endorsements with Delta Airlines and Meta, and he also has an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
The multiple-time champion has also been dabbling in media, launching his Let's Go podcast back in 2021 (before he was announced to be joining FOX in 2024 as its lead NFL analyst). And on its latest episode, he shared his insight into why fans would react angrily when watching games:
"There’s so much more context when you’re watching... On the field, you don’t see any of that. You’re seeing everything ground level.
"I think when you’re a fan, you see obviously a lot, you hear a lot. The commentators are saying a lot. You have the score right there. You have the timeouts listed. Everything’s right there for you. It’s not necessarily like that when you’re a player."
Brady also addressed a question raised to him by NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, who guested on the episode: who "the next Tom" was. He nominated Patrick Mahomes in response:
“Patrick [Mahomes] is the one that really stands out. They’ve done a great job since he’s really taken over. He’s got a really great coach that helps you and is there for you when things are going good, and not good. Gives you the humble pie when things are going good, and knows how to pick you up when things aren’t good."
However, he also stressed that the current trend of mobile quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson could shorten careers since they are more susceptible to injuries when tackled during a rushing attempt.
