Speculation about a return to the gridiron has loomed large since the legendary Tom Brady announced his second retirement earlier this year.

Brady spoke to Cheddar News' Kristen Scholer in a wide-ranging interview Thursday about life post-football and how he plans to spend his summer.

Among Brady's post-quarterback roles is a deal with Hertz. He has been a spokesperson since 2021, highlighting the car rental company's dedication to electric vehicles. In the upcoming year he'll be starring in spots with actress and comedian Yvonne Orji where he will play the role of a guest on the fictional Hertz Let's Go Show.

Updated to include specific information about Brady's new Hertz partnership.
