Tom Brady potentially playing football into his 50s has been an idea being talked about since last season when he started to thrive with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady proved last season that age is just a number when he led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title. Before Thursday night’s victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady told Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm he could play well into his 50s.

Brady made the comment ahead of his five-touchdown performance against the Atlanta Falcons. He and teammate Rob Gronkowski answered the internet’s burning questions in a taped segment for the team. Both players were wearing reflective sunglasses and Brady was in a bucket hat.

“Can Tom Brady play until 50 years old?” Gronkowski read.

“Wow, seems to be a really hot question lately,” Brady said. “’Can Tom Brady play till 50?’ Like, 50 years old. I don’t find it so difficult, and plus living in Florida it’s kind of a retiree state. I feel like I can just play and glide into retirement. I think I can, I think it’s a yes.”

On Thursday, Brady finished 34-for-42 with 297 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He threw his first interception since the first week of the season. The interception ended a streak of 227 consecutive pass attempts without a pick. He had touchdown passes to O.J. Howard and Antonio Brown.
