Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady has made the transition to the broadcast booth an easy one.

The future Hall of Famer and seven-time Super Bowl winner signed a massive 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports to be part of the broadcast crew.

Brady is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, so he is still heavily involved in the game of football.

On Thanksgiving Day, Brady was part of the crew for the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game.

During the broadcast, Brady spoke about the upcoming college football rivalry game between the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 16 Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan is Brady's alma mater, and the former Wolverines QB revealed he would be at the game.

"Tom Brady says on FOX's NFL broadcast that he will be at the Ohio State-Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday. He also said he cried four years ago when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes for the first time in nine years," via Patrick Murphy of 247Sports.

Here is what Brady said during the Thanksgiving Day broadcast, via Ben Axelrod of Awful Announcing.

“I’m gonna be there and I just heard I’m gonna be on 'Big Noon Kickoff,' which I’m very excited about,” Brady said. “Getting to be in the Big House, where [Detroit Lions star defensive end] Aidan Hutchinson took the field there. I remember when [Michigan] beat Ohio State four years ago for the first time [since 2011], I was crying, literally, in my bedroom. I couldn’t believe it took so many years to do it.”

The FOX "Big Noon Kickoff" crew also features Rob Stone, Mark Ingram II, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Urban Meyer, Dave Portnoy and Chris Fallica.

Brady's former NFL teammate, Rob Gronkowski, is also going to be in Ann Arbor, as will ESPN's "College GameDay."

Brady played at Michigan from 1995 until 1999 and was then selected by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

Now, he returns to Ann Arbor for the 121st edition of the Big Ten's biggest rivalry on Saturday.
