Tom Brady slam dunk video: Former NFL quarterback throws down basketball for first time since high school
Is there anything that Tom Brady can’t do?
Brady terrorized opponents for years in the NFL. The longtime Patriots and Buccaneers QB was lethal in a two-minute drill, in crunch time and, most importantly, in a championship. His seven Super Bowl rings — the most ever for an NFL player — back that up.
He is now set to transition to the broadcast booth, where he has been tabbed as Fox’s lead color commentator for their top team on the call for Sundays. Brady will be joining Kevin Burkhardt as the duo calling games on national television.Â
Just because he hung up the cleats, doesn’t mean he still isn’t staying in shape. Brady, who was known during his playing career for his rigorous eating habits and lifestyle, remains in top form even with his playing days behind him.
While he is no longer running an NFL offense, he still is making plays. A video recently posted by Brady showed the 47-year old dunking on a basket — in jeans, no less.

Tom Brady slam dunk videoIn the latest YouTube video shared by Brady on his channel, the future Hall of Famer detailed his experience at Fanatics Fest. The former QB took part in a number of athletic challenges, including getting in the batting cages for some swings and seeing how high he could reach on a power punch machine.
It also involved him getting on the court to shoot some hoops, putting himself to the test in basketball. His most impressive feat involved him taking a blast to the past and attempting to dunk the ball.Â
Brady admitted before his attempt that he hadn’t successfully delivered a slam dunk since high school, but he was willing to give it a shot. Per usual, the GOAT delivered.

Tom Brady height, weightBrady has not had his measurements published since his last season in the NFL, which came in 2022. While his height undoubtedly hasn’t changed, it’s possible that his weight has fluctuated slightly since retiring — although knowing Brady’s lifestyle, the chances of him gaining weight are slim.Â
With that said, he is listed at 6-4 for his height, and 225 pounds for his weight, according to NFL.com.Â
