Tom Brady has built a Hall of Fame career by proving himself every Sunday. He expects Las Vegas Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza to do the same.
Speaking to Liz Claman on FOX Business’ “The Claman Countdown,” Brady wasn’t interested in fueling quarterback fever this offseason. As far as minority ownership of the Raiders is concerned, Mendoza hasn’t won anything yet.
“Well, I love Fernando, but Fernando is like every other young rookie,” Brady said.

“He has to go out there and earn it like everyone else…none of these young players, none of the rookies have ever had a meaningful game in the NFL.”
For Brady, draft status and offseason hype only go so far.
“Their career and their journey will be determined by the work they have done, by the adversities they have overcome, by the kind of teammate and team player they are,” Brady added.

It’s the same mindset Brady says he brings to his latest adventure off the field.

The 48-year-old recently joined digital health company eMed as chief wellness officer, saying he wants to help give everyday Americans access to the type of health advice he’s relied on throughout his legendary career.
“My body was really my asset as a football player,” Brady recalled.
“So you’re right, I was very fortunate, over time, to learn a lot of disciplines that allowed me to step on the field feeling very healthy and full of energy and excited to go out there and try to, you know, win football games.”
Brady wants to bring the same model to people who don’t have access to an NFL-caliber support system.
“But when I retired, I realized that there are a lot of people in life who may not be professional athletes, but to some extent we all live an athletic lifestyle,” he said. “We want to be healthy. We want to play with our kids. We want to play with our grandkids.”

Brady also praised the impact of GLP-1 drugs in helping people begin to improve their health.
“There’s no debate about how this drug works right now in terms of keeping patients going and starting their wellness journey,” Brady said. “And then we do a great job of keeping them on that journey.”
For Brady, whether the goal is winning the QB1 job or improving a person’s health, success comes down to focusing on the fundamentals.

“I realized that a lot of the values that I had as an NFL player fit very well with what’s going on in the job market,” Brady explained. “And it comes down to responsibility, discipline, showing up for others, serving others.”
