Tom Brady, known for his decades-long presence in front of the camera, recently unveiled a different side of himself. In a GQ campaign, Brady donned fashion-forward clothing, aligning more with the modeling world akin to his ex-wife’s career, rather than his established identity as a former Patriots quarterback.
This move, reminiscent of Joe Burrow’s style, prompted a response from Jason Whitlock on Instagram. Whitlock’s reaction was critical and veered into political commentary.
Thanks for the submission!
“Tom Brady continues his transformation into becoming a woke leftist,” Whitlock captioned.

“He’s trying to tell 25-year-old women, ‘hey, I’m still relatable.’ I think Tom Brady has insecurity issues,” Whitlock said. “We thought he was this humble kid from Michigan. No, this is a guy from Northern California who perhaps is being who he was always going to be, and that Bill Belichick pushed that out of him while he was with the Patriots.
“As soon as he left Bill Belichick, Tom Brady feels a bit more comfortable being exactly who he is: a Northern Californian leftist.”
Whitlock is known for his outspoken views on players and NFL issues on social media. He has now targeted Brady, who has previously addressed critics like Jake Paul. It remains to be seen if the Patriots legend will respond to Whitlock.

Brady didn’t just introduce a potential new side project and leave it at that. In a GQ interview, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback reflected on the experience, noting it was his first visit to Times Square in quite some time.
“Iāve had a place in New York for a long time, but I’m not really ever in Times Square, other than driving through it,” he said. “So when they said we’re doing this in Times Square, I was like, ‘Wait, how are they doing that? How does that happen?’ Somehow the people at Gucci figured it out.”
Brady, now a FOX analyst, also shared his thoughts on leather clothing, mentioning it reminded him of his football gear.
“Yeah, Iād never really done leather on leather before, but there are some leather pants in my closet now,” he said. “I thought, āD*mn, thatās actually really comfortable.ā I could see why people wear this. Itās definitely a different look. It felt more like a uniformāthere was a rigidity and a structure to it, like my football uniform.”
With one photoshoot completed, fans are eager to see if Brady will appear in another iconic location with a fresh look. Perhaps before that, he may be seen in a traditional suit as he takes on his role calling games for FOX in September.
