Tom Brady Throws An Absolute Missile At A Drone While On A $300 Million Yacht

General Assignment Reporter, HuffPost

Tom Brady has a history with boats. He’s bought the occasional yacht. He threw passes to a Formula 1 driver from one yacht to another at the Monaco Grand Prix. He threw the Super Bowl trophy from a boat, as you do.

Now, the retired quarterback has also thrown a football at a flying drone while aboard a $300 million yacht ― and the only question is why it didn’t happen sooner. (Watch the video below.)

The seven-time Super Bowl winner teamed up with YouTuber MrBeast , aka Jimmy Donaldson, for the stunt, posted Saturday.

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” Brady said.

“Dad, you’re gonna, like, miss,” his daughter Vivian teased.

Dad didn’t miss. With a whip of his Hall of Fame-bound right arm, Brady blasted the drone out of the sky.

He also threw a perfect strike to a waiting receiver (who dropped it) for an encore.

Fast-forward to 9:49:

Brady’s former NFL rival Aaron Rodgers took a while to warm up in his own drone challenge in early 2022. But he came in hot with a jab at Brady’s Deflategate controversy .

He didn’t miss in the video that has received over 64 million views as of this article’s writing. Which had the YouTube star touring a series of yachts, from the sinking ship he bought for a dollar to a $1 billion cruise ship. MrBeast claimed on social media that in the 24 hours since it was published it received the second most in YouTube history; only the infamous Will Smith slap against Chris Rock has received more views in that same time period. An inquiry to YouTube from Robb Report about this claim was not returned. 

In the video, Brady also attempted to throw a football from the yacht to a pal of MrBeast who was on a jet ski. He completed the second challenge, but MrBeast’s friend has hands like frying pans and dropped the perfectly thrown ball.

Brady, who is also a yacht-owner , was recently seen in France where he attended the 24 Hours of Le Mans , USA Today reported. He and his Brady Brand were a sponsor for Hertz Team JOTA. He was also at the French Open sitting next to Jelena Djokovic, the wife of Novak Djokovic, who won the tournament and set a record for men’s all-time Grand Slams. 

Next year will be a significant one for Brady. He is set to work at FOX Sports as a lead NFL analyst, according to USA Today . He has signed a 10-year contract that’s reportedly worth $375 million. He will start the role in 2024.

Video of Tom Brady Taking Out Drone With Football Viewed 2m Times

Video footage of Tom Brady knocking a drone out of the sky with a football has been viewed more than 2 million times on Twitter .

The 45-year-old former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, who announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this year, was shown in the footage hanging out with YouTube sensation Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson aboard a yacht.

In the clip , Brady was seen on the luxury $300 million vessel with the two children he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen —son Benjamin Rein, 13, and daughter Vivian Lake, 10.

At one point, Brady was seen delivering on-target throws for Donaldson to catch, before the social media star decided to up the challenge levels for the sportsman.

"I want to see if you can hit my drone out of the sky with a football," Donaldson said.

"If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement," Brady joked.

"Dad, you're gonna like miss," Brady's daughter was heard saying in the background as her dad geared up to take aim at the drone circling the boat.

However, Brady proved that his sporting prowess remains a force to be reckoned with as he knocked the drone out of the sky, sending it plummeting into the ocean.

Footage of the moment was shared by SportsCenter on Twitter, where it clocked up more than 2 million views in a matter of hours.

Brady officially bowed of the NFL in February, following an illustrious career that included seven Super Bowl victories, five Super Bowl MVPs and three NFL MVPs, as well as dozens of other records and accolades.

"Good morning guys, I'll get to the point right away. I'm retiring, for good," Brady said in a video shared on social media . "I know the process was a pretty big deal last time and when I woke up this morning I figured I'll just press record and let you guys know first.

"It won't be long winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me, my family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors, I could go on forever, there's too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream... I wouldn't change a thing. Love you all."

Ahead of the 2022 NFL season, Brady announced that he was retiring from the NFL, but soon changed his mind and returned to the Buccaneers amid a divorce from Bündchen.

Shortly after his official retirement was announced, it was revealed that Brady signed a broadcasting deal with Fox Sports.

"Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives," Fox Sports said in a statement released in February.

It was reported at the time that Brady would take on his role at Fox Sports from the fall of 2024.

Tom Brady nailed one of MrBeast's drones with a football while they were hanging out on a yacht

• Tom Brady hung out with MrBeast on what the latter said was a $300 million yacht.
• MrBeast asked Brady to throw a football to try to knock his drone out of the sky.
• Brady hit the drone head-on, smashing it out of the air and into the sea.

Former NFL superstar Tom Brady might have retired, but he hasn't lost his mojo.

Brady showed off his skills while hanging out on a yacht with  MrBeast , a top YouTuber whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson. MrBeast published a video on Saturday titled "$1 vs $1,000,000,000 Yacht," where he invited guests including Brady to chill out with him on a variety of yachts.

Halfway through the video, Brady was seen pulling up to one of the yachts, a $300 million boat the YouTuber and his friends were already on. In tow were two of Brady's children, Benjamin and Vivian.

MrBeast took Brady on a tour of some of the yacht's 49 rooms, after which they engaged in a session of good old football tossing on the yacht's deck.

"I wanna see if you can hit my drone out of the sky with a football," MrBeast told Brady. 

"If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement," Brady told MrBeast's cameraman.

Sure enough, Brady tossed the ball on what MrBeast said was his "first try" — and hit the drone squarely, knocking it out of the sky and into the sea.

And if you're only interested in the part where Brady hits a bullseye on the drone, the NFL has done you the favor of clipping that part of the video and sharing it on Twitter. Check that out  here.

Tom Brady drills MrBeast's drone with football on $300M yacht

'maybe i should come out of retirement' if he hit drone on first try: brady.

Fox News Flash top sports headlines for June 10

Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known as YouTube sensation "MrBeast," might be the reason why NFL legend Tom Brady comes out of retirement. 

MrBeast’s latest video for YouTube involved the different types of luxury on the high seas, and that led to a run-in with Brady and his kids on a $300 million yacht.

And what’s a meeting with Brady without some spirals, even if it is on the deck of a vessel.

While MrBeast dropped his opportunity to catch a perfectly thrown ball from Brady – a chance not many get to have now that he’s retired from the NFL – he decided to put the future Hall of Famer on the hot seat.

MrBeast had a drone circling the yacht, and he said that Brady had to knock it down with a thrown football. Brady even challenged himself.

TOM BRADY'S KIDS TRICK 7-TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMP TO RIDE ‘TOWER OF TERROR’ IN FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY

"If I hit this drone first try, maybe I should come out of retirement," Brady said.

 "You’re gonna miss," Brady’s daughter, Vivian, said to her dad.

But just as fans have seen so many times, when Brady needs to make the throw, he does it. The drone went into the ocean after Brady clipped it with his pass, and everyone celebrated, including the man who recovered it in the water.

Brady also tried throwing a football to a friend of MrBeast on a jet ski from the yacht, and it was a perfect toss that hit him right in the chest. But MrBeast’s friend couldn’t haul it in, which caused some laughter on the yacht.

Brady may have said he’d think about coming out of retirement, but he likely didn’t mean it. He was adamant that his second stint of retirement was for real this time around, after quickly changing his mind last offseason to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tom Brady knocks MrBeast's drone out of air with football on $300m yacht

The quarterback still has some skills when it comes to throwing the pigskin.

Ben Thompson

Tom Brady may have retired from professional American football but he still has a great arm.

In a recent video shared to MrBeast 's YouTube channel, Brady puts his throwing skills to the test while out on a $300 million yacht.

Most people would take it easy while out to sea on a super expensive boat, but MrBeast wanted to make their time on the waves extra interesting.

The 25-year-old YouTuber set a challenge to the former New England Patriots star - to knock his drone out of the air with a football.

And to make it extra tricky, MrBeast flew the drone several yards away from the yacht.

The odds weren't in Brady's favor - the sea can be unpredictable, nerves can build up on camera and footballers aren't usually tasked with knocking drones out of the sky.

Brady's daughter Vivian, who was also on the boat, wasn't too optimistic herself as she told her dad: "You're gonna miss!"

But Brady remained hopeful, remarking: "If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement."

Well, he better give his agent a call, because he wiped the drone out on his first attempt.

The 45-year-old announced his retirement earlier this year , sharing the news in a heartfelt Instagram post.

Speaking in the video posted in February, Brady said: "I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first.

"Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change a thing."

Though this wasn't the first time Brady had announced his retirement, as he had done so last year only to change his mind a few weeks later .

Fans applauded Brady at the time of his announcement, taking to the comments to praise the legendary football star .

One wrote: "Thank you for everything."

"Congrats on an unbelievable career," said another. "It was fun to watch!"

A third added: "The greatest to ever do it. New challenges for you to conquer now. No doubts you will... thanks for the memories as a die hard football fan."

While a fourth commented: "Respect! The tone in your voice said a lot. Walking away from a game you love that you can still compete in.

"Your level of obsession, passion, commitment to the game inspired people in many industries outside of the NFL. You’re one of a kind. Wish you nothing but the very best!"

Whether or not Brady's recent win against MrBeast's drone will reverse his retirement decision remains to be seen.

Tom Brady Took Down a Drone With Incredible Throw

A viral video shows seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady throwing a football into a drone from an expensive yacht.

The video was shared by YouTube personality ' Mr. Beast ,' whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson , and featured various yachts before showing Brady, his son, Ben , and daughter, Vivian , on a $300 million yacht. Donaldson then challenges Brady to hit his drone with a football after playing catch.

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement ,” Brady joked in the video before nailing the aircraft on his first throw.

Brady announced he's "retiring for good" after 23 NFL seasons in a video shared on his official social media accounts on February 1. The 45-year-old had previously announced his retirement last offseason before announcing his decision to return several weeks later.

Brady is set to become FOX Sports ' lead NFL analyst as part of a deal that was agreed to take place following the conclusion of his playing career, but has publicly stated that he won't start until 2024, taking the next year to spend time with his family and prepare for the job. The San Mateo native also recently purchased ownership stakes in the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders and WNBA's Las Vegas Aces.

Brady is the NFL's all-time passing leader for yards and touchdowns, as well as quarterback wins, among numerous other records.

World reacts to insane Tom Brady video

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement.”

Ever since announcing his retirement several weeks ago, Tom Brady has had to insist on a number of occasions that this time he is certainly retired for good and has no plans to come out of retirement. But based on a recent video that has gone viral on social media, it’s pretty clear that he’s still got it.

This week, Tom Brady joined MrBeast for a trip on the YouTube star’s $300 million yacht. And during their trip, the YouTuber couldn’t help but put the all-time great quarterback’s arm to the test. MrBeast challenged Brady to knock his drone out of the sky by throwing a football off the back of his yacht.

“I want to see if you can hit my drone out of the sky with a football,” MrBeast said in the video.

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” Brady said in the video.

At first, Brady and his daughter were skeptical, with Brady admitting that he “probably will miss.”

But Brady did not miss. He drilled the drone with the football on his first try, then showed off his arm again by throwing a perfect pass to one of MrBeast’s friends on a jet ski.

It was a wild scene all around, and it generated quite a buzz on social media.

Tom Brady Hits Drone Off Top Deck of MrBeast’s $300 Million Yacht

Some of the biggest boaters in the biz are making headlines again.

We've long followed the boating journey of NFL great Tom Brady , who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and immediately picked himself up a sweet ride -- a Dutch-built Wajer 55 .

Tom apparently dove headlong into the #BoatLife , because he not only brought the boat to his own Super Bowl parade , he quickly came down with 'footitus' and upgraded to a Wajer 77 .

If you're unfamiliar with the burgeoning Dutch brand, Wajer yachts are about the sleekest thing on the water. They're not cheap, either. Price isn't a huge detractor for Brady, who signed a $50 million contract with Bucs when he first moved to Florida, but you're not gonna see many Wajers down at your local launch ramp.

Then there's MrBeast , beloved YouTuber and millenial influencer. MrBeast, real name James Donaldson, had modest beginnings to his boating career -- most notably hosting a hysterical competition with his pals to give away a 1985 Bayliner Ciera . Hey, we all start somewhere.

But the Beast has also come down with footitus recently. It started last week with a video depicting him and his friends touring yachts ranging from $1 to $1 billion . Honestly, we had high hopes for the $1 yacht, it seemed like a bargain. Until it sank. But it also explains where Donaldson's footitus kicked into high gear -- because he turned up this week with Tom Brady aboard a $300 million superyacht.

During their hangout, MrBeast gave Brady a challenge.

“I want to see if you can hit my drone out of the sky with a football,” MrBeast challenged. No way a 7x Super Bowl champion is backing down from that.

“If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” Brady offers. We wouldn't say no, maybe it'll help him afford another boat.

Brady’s daughter Vivian, however, was not as optimistic about his father’s chances, and Brady agreed, saying “I probably will miss.”

Such humility. But it's like tossing to Gronk on a slant into the corner of the end zone. Brady isn't going to miss.

As you would expect, Brady drilled the drone from the aft deck with a perfect spiral on his first throw. He then hits one of MrBeasts friends on a PWC with a perfect long ball. It's not the first time he's tossed a ball from the back of a yacht. Classic Brady.

Come out of retirement, Tom.

Tom brady knocks mrbeast's drone out of air with football throw off $300m yacht, tom brady knocks mrbeast's drone out of air ... w/ 🏈 thrown from $300m yacht, 64k 6/11/2023 10:34 am pt.

Tom Brady may just have to consider coming out of retirement after all, 'cause the dude's still got a great arm and precise accuracy ... just ask MrBeast , he can tell you all about it.

The mega-viral YouTuber recently posted a new video where he's delving into the different levels of luxury yacht life ... and at one point in his adventure, he runs into TB12 -- who, as we know, has been enjoying life on the high seas of late as he basks in his post-NFL career.

MrBeast gets Tom to agree to a challenge ... try and knock down his drone -- which is hovering in the air at eye level several yards away -- with nothing but a football toss.

Tom actually doesn't think he can do it, but then jokes ... if he gets it in one try, he might have to think about un-retiring. Welp, he's got something to mull over now -- not only did he do it, but he completed another challenge right after that was equally impressive.

Watch for yourself ... the G.O.A.T. has some gas in the tank and then some, it seems. Dude was out there doing Globetrotter trick shots from a freakin' boat -- and it's impressive.

Tom Brady Freaks Out On 'Tower Of Terror' Ride During Disney Day With Kids

A couple takeaways from this ... one, Tom is absolutely reveling in his retirement, which you can see in the clip.

His daughter is there for this whole drone-yacht game, and he's palling around with her throughout all of it. So, he's getting that QT he's been seeking lately.

Also, he clearly still has a competitive edge. Makes ya wonder what's really next for him. 🤔
