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

“He’s got to go out there and earn it like everybody else … none of these young players, none of the rookies have ever had a meaningful snap 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 put in, the adversity they overcome, the kind of teammate and team player they are,” Brady added.

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

The 48-year-old recently joined digital health company eMed as its Chief Wellness Officer and said he wants to help give ordinary Americans access to the kind of health guidance he 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 a period of time to learn a lot of disciplines that allowed me to go on the field feeling very healthy, energized and excited to go out there to try and win some football games.”
Brady wants to bring that same plan 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 children. We want to play with grandchildren.”

Brady also praised the impact GLP-1 drugs have had in helping people begin to improve their health.
“There’s no debate about how this medication works right now in terms of keeping people and getting people started on their wellness journey,” Brady said. “And then we do a great job of keeping them on that journey.”
For Brady, whether the goal is to win the QB1 job or improve someone’s health, success comes down to focusing on the basics.

“I realized that a lot of the values that I had as an NFL player translated very well to what’s happening in the workforce,” Brady explained. “And it comes down to accountability, discipline, showing up for other people, serving other people.”
