Almost Cried": Buccaneers Star Reveals How Tom Brady Left Entire Locker Room in Tears During Super Bowl LV

Leonard Fournette said Tom Brady’s pregame speech before Super Bowl LV left the Buccaneers so emotionally charged that he “almost cried.” Speaking on “4th & South with Jarvis Landry and Leonard Fournette,” Fournette recalled that he played in Tampa Bay from 2020 to 2022, crossing paths with Brady after the quarterback left the New England Patriots in 2020. Brady then led the Bucs to a Super Bowl win that season, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tampa reached two playoff appearances. Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs described the atmosphere during practices while Super Bowl banners were being installed. Former coach Bruce Arians urged the team to stay focused, warning them to avoid distractions. Wirfs said Brady’s tone built steadily and ended with a certainty that they would win.
