Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has made some shocking revelations about how her husband Tom Brady played an entire NFL season through concussion, and despite that, he went on to become the Super Bowl 51 (2017) hero for the New England Patriots.
Bundchen, 36, may now be slowly starting to getting concerned about her husband's health and she wants Brady to consider retirement.
"He had a concussion last year. He has concussions pretty much every -- I mean, we don't talk about it. He does have concussions," Bundchen mentioned on CBS This Morning, Wednesday. "I don't really think it's a healthy thing for a body to go through that kind of aggression all the time. That could not be healthy for you."
The National Football League (NFL) records, however, didn't mention anything about Brady having any head injuries or concussions as such, last season. As a matter of fact, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has put out a statement regarding Bundchen's recent revelations over Brady's possible concussions.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen: Relationship timeline
- Started dating: December 2006
- Got married: February 2009 in California

Brady turns 40 this August and in an interview to ESPN just days back, the New England Patriots quarter-back mentioned that he would like to play American football at least until the age of 45!
"I always said my mid-40s," Brady said on the prospect of retirement, "and naturally that means around 45. If I get there and I still feel like I do today, I don't see why I wouldn't want to continue."
Interestingly, Brady adds that his wife Bundchen also wants him to continue playing post-40. "She makes decisions for our family that I've got to deal with. Hopefully she never says, 'Look, this has to be it.' ... My wife and my kids, it's a big investment of their time and energy, too.
"She also wants me to take good care of myself and still have my energy. My kids have grown up faster than I thought."
