Tom Brady is already pushing the limits of what is considered an appropriate age for NFL quarterbacks. But if it were up to him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller would push them even more.

During a recent appearance on the Google It series featured on the Bucs’ YouTube channel, Brady answered several of the most frequently asked questions about him on the internet. One of the questions was whether he could play in the NFL until 50 years old.

“I don’t find it so difficult. Plus, in Florida, it’s kind of a retiree state, so I feel like I can play and then just glide into retirement,” Brady told his teammate and friend Rob Gronkowski, who appeared alongside him in the clip. “I think I can. I think it’s a yes.”

Gronkowski decided to spice things up after this and pointed out that Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, might want some input on this.

Brady jokingly said that Bundchen would say no to this before addressing her directly on a seemingly more serious note: “You would let me. You would let me do anything as long as I’m happy.”

You can check out the full clip below.

While it might seem outrageous to think that Tom Brady could play until 50, we should remember that no one thought he could play at the age of 43. And then he proved everyone wrong by leading the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl.
