TAMPA BAY, Florida – Owning six Super Bowl champion rings could give you preferential treatment in many places, but former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady learned Monday that it doesn’t do much good when you get caught training in a park that has been closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said during a news conference that the new Buccaneers quarterback was seen training on a downtown park by a patrol. The employee approached him to tell him that he should leave the place and recognized the 42-year-old star.
“We surprised him,” said Castor.
The City of Tampa tweeted on its account Monday: “We are sorry @TomBrady! Our @tampaparksrec staff is eager to welcome you to our community with big smiles – until then, take precautions, stay home as long as possible to flatten the curve. ”
Brady recently moved with his family to the furnished mansion he rents to Derek Jeter, the former New York Yankees star in Tampa.
The four-time Super Bowl MPV left the New England Patriots and signed a two-year, $ 50 million contract with the Bucs as a free agent, joining the team with the worst winning percentage in NFL history.
