Tom Brady is setting high expectations as he gets ready to embark on his broadcasting career.
During an appearance Monday on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," Brady explained how he plans to approach his new role as an analyst for NFL on Fox.
"Certainly, with a broadcaster, I don't think for me it's about competition," the future Hall of Fame quarterback said. "I think for me, it's about, 'Did I put everything I could into it, and did I give the fans everything that they tuned in for?' That's really how I'll end up gauging myself, and I'll have to look at myself at the end of every Sunday night going, 'Did I do a good enough job? Did I live up to the belief that Fox had in me? Did I live up to the expectations of my teammates?' ... That's ultimately how I'll judge myself in that new role."
Brady will make his broadcasting debut Sept. 8 when the Cleveland Browns host the Dallas Cowboys, working alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt on Fox's No. 1 team.
The 46-year-old Brady's broadcasting slate also includes the Cowboys' Week 6 tilt against the Detroit Lions and a Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
