Five-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady has left fans worldwide in awe—again. This time, it’s not for a game-winning drive or a record-breaking touchdown, but for a bold leap into uncharted territory off the field. The seven-time Super Bowl champion, widely hailed as the greatest quarterback of all time with five NFL passing touchdown titles and a staggering 251 career wins, has never shied away from reinvention.

Beyond his athletic dominance, Brady’s entrepreneurial acumen has cemented his status as a mogul, boasting a $300 million empire. Now, he’s tackling a challenge that even his die-hard supporters couldn’t predict—and it’s quintessential Brady: ambitious, unexpected, and game-changing.

Tom Brady revs up as Hertz Car Sales’ unlikely pitchman

Tom Brady’s post-NFL career has been anything but ordinary. After hanging up his cleats, the 46-year-old icon has dabbled in sports commentary, team ownership, and even English football investments. But his latest venture? Selling pre-owned cars. Yes, you read that right. In a plot twist that even Hollywood might dismiss as too far-fetched, Brady has teamed up with Hertz Car Sales—yes, the rental giant—to become the face of their certified used vehicle division.

The partnership, announced via a quirky ad campaign, sees Brady swapping playbooks for car keys. In the commercial, he touts Hertz’s inventory of “quality, reliability, and value,” leaning into his trademark charm to appeal to buyers. Jeff Adams, Hertz Car Sales’ Executive VP, couldn’t resist a playful nod to Brady’s trophy-laden legacy:

“Tom Brady might be collecting jobs like he collected championship rings, but he’s proving to be a genuine MVP in the used car game.”

Central to the campaign is a sweepstakes that’s pure Tom Brady flair: a chance to win a 2023 Cadillac XT5 autographed by the legend himself (on the driver’s visor, no less), paired with 
5,000 in cash. The luxury SUV, valued at over 31,000, comes loaded with perks like leather interiors, lane-departure alerts, and wireless connectivity—a far cry from Brady’s days of dodging linebackers.

For Brady, the collab isn’t just about selling cars. It’s about strategy.

“Hertz Car Sales has come up with the perfect game plan—with their seamless certification process, wide selection of premium vehicles, and clear upfront pricing,” he explained. “Hertz is committed to delivering exceptional service to their customers. I’m excited to work alongside their team and help people find the right car for them.”

While the pivot might raise eyebrows, it’s classic Brady: calculated, charismatic, and dripping with competitive spirit. Since retiring, he’s stacked ventures like a highlight reel—commentating for FOX, securing stakes in the Las Vegas Raiders and Birmingham City FC, and now, conquering the used-car market. If there’s a playbook for life after football, Tom Brady’s rewriting it—one unexpected chapter at a time.
