You wouldn’t want to win this bet.
CJ Stroud has a bright future ahead of him—a career that will hopefully bring him and the Houston Texans a Super Bowl ring. Of course, Tom Brady had a fantastic career, too, setting NFL records and winning seven Super Bowls.
Since Brady retired from football, he has kept himself busy with a podcast and other ventures.
Late last year, Brady had Stroud as a guest on his Let’s Go! podcast, and the two made a friendly bet during the show. If Stroud’s Ohio State won the rivalry match-up with Brady’s Wolverines, Stroud would win one of Brady’s Super Bowl rings, and Stroud could pick which one. If the Michigan Wolverines won, then Brady would have Stroud grant him all his talent and youth for years to come. (Another comeback!)
— ””Well, it was a close game that came down to the wire. Michigan held on for a 30-24 victory, the third consecutive win over its Ohio rivals. What did Stroud do? He just smiled, and Tom Brady did, too.
Brady knows you can’t play forever and that “new guns” are destined for NFL greatness. Stroud didn’t feel comfortable taking a priceless ring.
But here’s another bet we all can take and answer: Will CJ be the next TB12?
