Tom Brady is getting roasted online after he shared a seemingly normal photo of himself standing next to his 17-year-old son, Jack.
The NFL legend shared a series of wholesome photos from a golf outing at The Hills resort in East Quogue, New York, with his eldest son.
In the Instagram carousel, one photo showed Jack towering over his 6-foot-4 father, sparking an avalanche of jokes from Brady’s former teammates and celebrity friends.
“Is Jack standing on something? Besides business lol,” joked Mike Evans, Brady’s ex-Buccaneers teammate. Rob Gronkowski piled on too: “Jack is way more beastly than you.”
Even Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin couldn’t resist teasing the NFL great, commenting, “Except I heard Jack kicked your ass yesterday!!.”
Fans were equally stunned. “How is Jack taller than Tom??!” one wrote, while another quipped, “Jack just got an offer from every Power 5 school with that height and jawline combo.”
Brady captioned the post: “Everything still pretty much the same ’round here.”
Jack — who turns 18 on August 22 — is Brady’s son with ex Bridget Moynahan. The quarterback also shares two younger children, Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
This isn’t the first time Brady has acknowledged his son’s growth spurt.
Just two years ago, the pair posed back-to-back to measure the difference between them.
Now, Jack’s officially edged past his dad — though he’s got a long way to go before matching seven championship rings.
Still, based on the photos of his golf swing, fans are already speculating he could carve out a sports legacy of his own.
The lighthearted family moment comes after Brady recently opened up about his parenting philosophy in his 199 newsletter.
Reflecting on his NFL career and family life, he wrote: “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.”
He added: “My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.”
Alongside his career in the NFL, Brady has taken an interest in English soccer as a part-owner of Birmingham City Football Club.
The team suffered a relegation during Brady's first season following some questionable decisions regarding the backroom staff.
However, after a successful season in League One, Birmingham is now back in the second tier of the English leagues.
