Brady posted the video with the comment: "Truly grateful on this day. Thank you." In the NFL star says: "Good morning guys, I'll get to the point right away, I'm retiring, for good.
"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured that I'll just press record and let you guys know first. It won't be long winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year."
