New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady neither confirmed nor
denied whether he sustained a concussion during the 2016 season
while answering questions from reporters for the first time
since the day after Super Bowl LI.
Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, said in May on "CBS This Morning"
that her husband suffered a concussion last season and in other
years.
"I don't want to get into things that happened in my past,
certainly medical history and so forth. I really don't think
that's anybody's business," Brady said after the team's practice
at Gillette Stadium. "What happened last year ... I'm focused on
this year and improving and working on things I need to get
better at."
