The NFL season is right around the corner, which means many fans should be preparing to see a lot more of Tom Brady as he continues his roles as minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and lead analyst for Fox Sports.

Of course, considering those two roles can be seen as conflicting, the former quarterback must follow a strict set of rules, but none of them prohibit him from attending the Raiders' training camp, which officially got underway on July 22.

On Friday, he took full advantage of that opportunity, making his first public appearance at any of the team's practices since taking an ownership role, according to KTNV's Nick Walters.

Fans Expressed Clear Opinions of Brady's Raiders Appearance

There's no doubt that in his 23-year career, he made a few enemies out of Raiders fans, going 6-1 against them, including one playoff win, but it's clear that many are welcoming him with open arms.

"Goats are just casually walking on the practice field," said one comment.

"BRAH IT'S SO WEIRD SEEING BRADY IN THE SILVER & BLACK!!!! I AIN'T MAD AT IT THO....THE GOAT IS HERE TO STAY," said another.

"Just feels like alternate universe stuff, but as a fan I’m all for it!" said another.

A fourth stated, 'That’s it, we’re going to the Super Bowl."

"Yessir Brady this how you know things are going in the right direction love to see tom out there," a fifth continued.

"Looks great in Raiders gear," said another.

Brady Sets Clear Goals With Las Vegas

There's no doubt that over the past decade, the Raiders have been one of the league's most disappointing teams, accumulating a 72-92 record with just two playoff appearances, losing in the wild-card round both times.

However, that's something Brady wants to see change, telling Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com, "Winning games in September starts with what happens in February, March and April, when no one's really watching. They've been hard at work. And our goal is to, you know, win a lot of football games."

However, that's easier said than done, as the expectations for Las Vegas aren't particularly high, with ESPN BET even giving them the worst odds (+1500) to win the division as they look to avoid their second straight last-place finish in the AFC West.
