Tom Brady shows off his strength in new career venture as NFL legend tries to pull an airplane in tug-of-war fundraiser
NFL legend Tom Brady has put his retirement strength to the test - by helping pull an airplane for charity.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion joined up with Delta Airlines for their annual Jet Drag fundraiser on Friday.
Brady joined thousands of Delta employees as they looked to move a Boeing 737.
The annual event held in Atlanta, Georgia, raises funds for the American Cancer Society.
More than 100 teams took part in the competition to see who could drag the 255,000-pound airliner the furthest.
The 46-year-old recently showed off his ripped physique as he continues to stay in shape after hanging up his cleats.

Brady rocked a pair of black sunglasses as he worked up a sweat at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
He initially signed a partnership with the aviation giants last September.
The NFL legend is a strategic advisor to Delta, with Brady tasked with coming up with "training and teamwork tools for the airline’s more than 90,000 employees."
"Bringing a leader like Tom onto the Delta team furthers our mission to connect the world while accelerating our drive to continuously improve for our colleagues, customers and communities," Delta CEO Ed Bastian said, per a press release.

"I am grateful to be joining the Delta family, a company I have loved and respected for years," Brady said.
"Growing up with a mother as a flight attendant, I have always admired the people who make seamless air transportation possible.
"Throughout my career, my teammates and I flew Delta countless times, spending hours traveling for some of the most important games of our lives, even celebrating Super Bowl wins on the plane.
"Those championship teams were built off of great leadership and a commitment to excellence, and Delta certainly shares those qualities. Now, alongside Ed and the Delta team, I look forward to playing my part to continue the company’s success."
Since retiring from the NFL in February last year, Brady has built up a sizeable business portfolio.
He is currently awaiting clearance on a deal to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Brady has also invested in English soccer club Birmingham City and is set for a huge career change for the 2024 NFL Season.
The 46-year-old is making the move to the broadcast booth with Fox Sports.
He penned a 10-year deal with the network in the summer of 2022, netting the former quarterback $375 million.
Despite claiming he had retired "for good" last February, Brady has refused to rule out an incredible return to football.
In an interview with the Deep Cut Podcast, Brady revealed he hasn't completely closed the door on returning to the NFL.

"I don't know. I'm always gonna be in good shape, always gonna be able to throw the ball," he said.
"So to come in for a little bit, like MJ [Michael Jordan] coming back... I wouldn't be opposed to it."
