Tom Brady remembers being a component of the Boston community

Tom Brady created countless memories in Massachusetts.

Although the New England legend now lives in Florida and sometimes travels the country as an NFL analyst, he spent several years on Beacon Street.

In one Interview for GQ Sports' “On The Road” seriesBrady discussed his travel habits and reflected on his time in Boston.

“The community here is really great for families,” he told GQ’s Matthew Roberson. “Everyone thinks Boston is a big, huge city. It's a city. You can build a lot of close relationships, and I've been able to do that in the two decades I've lived here. It was a huge, influential part of my life.”

Whenever he drives around town, Brady can't help but indicate the parks he used to go to along with his kids or the hockey rink where his son practiced at night when the snow fell.

“I didn’t know anything about Boston. Then it became the place where I raised my family,” Brady said. “My kids are still asking, 'Dad, why don't we go back to Boston?'”

The seven-time Super Bowl champion moved to Florida in 2020 after signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He now owns a waterfront mansion in Miami, while his old Back Bay estate sold for $8.4 million in October.

Brady also recalled interning on the University of San Diego in 2014. The trip proved to be a crucial experience for the team, Brady said.

“San Diego has been great for our team,” Brady said. “We had a good season, but we also had some ups and downs. This journey together was one of the main reasons we reached and won the Super Bowl that year.”
