LOOK: Jalen Ramsey has hilarious reaction to Tom Brady news
One of the greatest of all time announced he would be hanging up his cleats shortly after the 2021 season ended in Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. Playing for 22 seasons, Brady was going to go out with six Super Bowl rings between Tampa Bay and the New England Patriots.
However, the journey is not over for Brady. He shocked everyone on Sunday by announcing he would be returning for his 23rd year in the NFL next season.
While many fans and Buccaneers players will find great joy in the decision, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey likely ranks among the happiest people about Tom Brady’s decision.
“Thank you!” Ramsey posted on Twitter. “Throw that last touchdown on somebody else.”
Brady threw the final touchdown pass of his career, or at least many thought, on Jan. 23 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Wideout Mike Evans caught the 55-yard touchdown pass over Jalen Ramsey and the cornerback express great regret about his place in history.
With another season in Tom Brady’s career comes at least 17 more games to complete a touchdown pass against a cornerback other than Jalen Ramsey.

Formally announcing his return to football via social media one day after spending time in England with Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady provided the following statement.
“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady said via Twitter. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG”
Brady makes his announcement just hours before free agency begins in the NFL. Tampa Bay was going to have a lot of decisions to make but now, with Brady back, the Buccaneers are once again an intriguing destination for free agents to land.
Throughout his career, Brady has thrown for 84,520 yards and 624 touchdowns. Splitting time between the Buccaneers and the Patriots, the six championships are more than anybody in the history of the NFL.
Now, he will return next season hoping to get one final Super Bowl next season with head coach Bruce Arians. After falling short against the Los Angeles Rams this season, there will be a better opportunity for Tampa Bay to lift another trophy after a frantic offseason in the NFC.
