The legendary quarterback is already juggling some football responsibilities as he made a surprise appearance for the UFL Championship game.

On Wednesday, Brady appeared on the FS1 show The Herd with Colin Cowherd to talk about his upcoming season of commentary.

Brady discussed several topics, but the biggest focus was his thoughts on the upcoming season and how he doesn’t want to let the fans down.

“I think there’s so much more room for improvement,” Brady said.

“Just like when I was a player, I never felt like I was doing things the right way.

“There were games where I went in afterwards and thought, ‘God, I’m the worst quarterback in the NFL. Why would they even want me to play quarterback for this team?’

“And I’m sure I’ll feel the same way here at Fox, where I finish a game and say, ‘God, I didn’t even give them what they wanted.’

“It’s quite a challenge for yourself. I’ve asked a few people, ‘How do you know you’ve done it right?’”

Brady emphasized preparation and said he can ensure he is ready for the game by working hard in the week leading up to the game.

“I think for me, so much will depend on the preparation. Did I feel like I was prepared? Did I feel like our crew was prepared?” said Brady.

“Did I give them my best over the course of the week so that we could give ourselves the best chance to be successful in front of the fans?

“Really, the game is the show. We’re here to add our opinions and analysis. But it’s also: Did we feel like we added something to the broadcast?

“From my point of view, I’m going to work as hard as I can on the process to make sure I get results because I don’t want to let anyone down.

“I don’t want to let down the people at Fox here and I certainly don’t want to let down the great NFL fans either.”

Brady is still a few months away from making his debut during the NFL season, but he impressed with his UFL performance.

Brady will make his debut alongside Kevin Burkhardt on September 8 for the Week 1 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.

After that, Brady will spend the next decade on Fox NFL after signing a mega deal following his retirement.
