Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady says he contracted Covid-19 in February shortly after the team’s Super Bowl parade and believes the upcoming season will be “challenging” in the backdrop of the delta variant and Covid’s continued spread.
Brady, who has since been vaccinated, confirmed he was sick over the winter in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times.
“I actually think it’s going to play more of a factor this year than last year, just because of the way what we’re doing now and what the stadium is going to look like and what the travel is going to look like and the people in the building and the fans,” he said.While his team his 100 percent vaccinated, Brady said he anticipates some players contracting the virus nonetheless, especially because vaccinated players will have fewer movement restrictions than last year.
Brady led the Buccaneers to become the 2021 Super Bowl champions during his first season playing for the team. The season was heavily restricted by the pandemic, as games were played with no or limited audience, and many games had to be rescheduled after players and staff tested positive.
