Fox Sports is priming viewers for Tom Brady’s broadcasting debut with a pretty awesome commercial.

Fox aired the new ad during the Saturday game between Michigan and Texas, one day before Brady will make his television debut calling the Browns-Cowboys game for the network.

The ad features a TV talking head questioning why Brady would go into broadcasting when he could relax. This leads to a series of past Bradys dressed in Patriots, Buccaneers and Michigan uniforms, hyping Brady up as he confronts the doubters.

It concludes with a young Brady in San Francisco 49ers gear saying, “One day, you’ll be the greatest there ever was,” which motivates present-day Brady to return to his prep work.

Fox is leaning into the hype, but Brady fans will love this. Considering how hard Brady has worked to prepare for his debut, it's not surprising that the network is making the most of it, and they are confident that he will succeed.

We have already received hints about how Brady feels about today's NFL, and more of those insights and opinions are probably coming. Brady will be judged highly, but Fox wouldn’t be rolling out ads like this if they felt he couldn’t handle it.
