Tom Brady’s phone is about to ring off the hook after his most recent viral stunt. NFL teams in need of a quarterback — and even those that don’t — are going to blow him up and try to lure him out of retirement after seeing his superhuman athleticism on display.
Brady ran a faster 40-yard dash at 46 years young than he did at 22.
As the NFL Draft Combine takes place this week, the greatest quarterback of all-time decided to turn back the clock. Both literally and figuratively! He put his speed to the test just like the group of soon-to-be rookies in Indianapolis.
However, unlike the current NFL hopefuls, Brady already got a chance to run at the Combine. The 6-4, 211-pound University of Michigan signal-caller ran a 5.28-second 40 back in 2000.
It was painfully slow.

Brady ran approximately one tenth of a second faster 24 years later! (If you choose to believe that his video was not edited or doctored in any way.)
He was hand-timed at 5.12 and 5.18 while out-pacing his younger self in the 40-yard dash earlier this month. Brady is also in much better shape and runs with far superior form!
While it is hard to trust a self-posted video, the NFL shared a side-by-side of Brady then and Brady now. Unless the two videos do not reflect reality, it is clear who won in definitive fashion.
46-year-old Tom Brady absolutely dominated his 22-year-old self!
Nobody continues to defy the aging process like seven-time Super Bowl champion. Brady is famous for adopting a strict diet and workout regimen during the latter half of his career.
If his 40-yard dash was any indication, he continues to be in ridiculous shape. Not only for his age, but in general. Brady out-ran himself at more than double the age he was as a rookie!
