Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers among top most-tweeted male athletes in 2021
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers are two of the most recognizable faces on and off the field. When Brady isn’t leading the league with his 34 touchdown passes, he is doing commercials such as the ones he's done for Subway. The 14-time Pro Bowl quarterback made a new commercial entitled "The Freshly Baked Fragrance of Bready" that debuted during the NFL season opener as the Buccaneers faced the Dallas Cowboys. What makes the ad entertaining is that Brady himself does not eat bread due to his TB12 diet.
Tom Brady actually takes a bite of his Subway sandwich in this new ad, as he is pitching the brand’s better-for-you bread.

Another entertaining commercial of Brady’s was one where he hinted at "the possibility of a trade," which spins widespread theories as to where the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback could end up in this trade. The irony here is that Brady’s former team, the New England Patriots, is included here. Ultimately, Brady was discussing trading crypto, as he and his wife, model Gisele Bundchen have a stake in the Cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX.
Actually @giseleofficial, good call on the trade. https://t.co/yI6LmZAhEU
Speaking of trading, there was a lot of talk before the season that Aaron Rodgers was to be traded, but nothing came of it. The Packers quarterback can be seen off the field as a spokesperson for State Farm Insurance, where you can get the Rodgers Rate. However, he has also made some comments off the field that gained him some more notoriety. In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he revealed that he was unvaccinated and tried homeopathic methods, instead of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Despite the vast contrasts in their personalities, Brady and Rodgers have been newsworthy this year on social media.
