Tom Brady hilariously tries to recruit MLB free agent superstar Aaron Judge to come play tight end for the Buccaneers

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a stunning come-from-behind win on Monday night. Before that, the legendary quarterback was seen chatting with MLB superstar Aaron Judge.

The New York Yankees star and American League MVP was at the game sporting a Bucs jersey for Mike Evans. He met Brady in the tunnel before the game for a quick chat, where the quarterback joked that he recruited the tall outfielder to play in the NFL with him.

Gave him my best pitch! 😂 Thanks for coming out @thejudge44 https://t.co/asR0bD3G6f

Judge was a multi-sport athlete in high school, posting incredible numbers in football, basketball and baseball. In theory, he could've made a run at going pro in any of them, but he chose baseball.

At Linden High School in California, Judge was a star. During his senior year, he put up 54 catches for 969 yards and 17 touchdowns in just 10 games. The year before, he had 32 catches for 436 yards and four touchdowns.

The MLB star and current free agent was a guest on the Let's Go! podcast recently, and the two joked about joining forces then, too.

Judge said:

"We could find a way to work this out. He'll just give me some looks in the redzone and I can go off and get some homers, you know, after that. We'll figure something out, some some not nice. That's for sure. If Tom is tossing me, touchdowns, you know, I'll play for free. This time you have to play for free."

Judge is currently looking for an MLB contract, but many athletes have played two sports before. Might he be the next to join Brady in Tampa Bay for a run at a Super Bowl?

Is Tom Brady retiring this season?

After a brief retirement and an eventual divorce earlier this year, many expected this to be the quarterback's final run. He's 45 and could be 46 by the time next season starts.

However, he hasn't said if he's retiring. He hasn't even alluded to that. Many expect him to continue playing. He will be a free agent at year's end, so he might play elsewhere, but no one truly expects him to retire at this stage.
