Tom Brady Returns to the University of Michigan as Honorary Captain
Kevin Jairaj - USA TODAY Sports
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may be banned from NFL football fields for the month of September, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t go back to college.
On Saturday, Brady was an honorary team captain for his alma mater University of Michigan’s game against the University of Colorado for which he played from 1995-1999.
Brady posted to Facebook this video of himself playing catch with his son Ben, who promptly “dabs” after catching a touchdown pass from his father.
By gametime, Brady also got some throws in with Michigan head coach and former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh.
