Brady, who has won seven Super Bowls, announced his retirement a year ago after 22 seasons in the NFL. A month later, he unretired and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first," Brady said in his video on Wednesday. "You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year."
