Tom Brady's final pass as a member of the New England Patriots was a memorable one, but was certainly not the highlight of his career. However, he and a former teammate and are looking to do something good with it.
Back in 2020 AFC Wild Card Game, Brady threw the ball for the final time in a Patriots jersey against the Titans. And on the receiving end was Tennessee cornerback Logan Ryan, who brought it back for a pick-six.
And it seems after all this time, Ryan has held onto the ball.
The two later reunited on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022 and spent time together volunteering at the Tampa Bay Humane Society. Ryan and his wife also began the Ryan Animal Rescue Foundation (RARF) in 2017. So this is a cause that is very important to to the duo.
Because of that, Brady's game ball from that final throw is being auctioned off, and is signed by the two former players. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the foundation. Bidding has been opened and starts at $100,000.
“This ball is more than just a keepsake. It's a chance to make a real difference,” Ryan said in a statement. “Together, we can turn Brady’s last pass as a Patriot into a huge win for animals!”
Here is more information on RARF:
"The Ryan Animal Rescue Foundation (RARF) is a public, non-profit organization established in May of 2017 by Logan and Ashley Ryan. RARF supports the animal welfare community through financial and educational resources. By providing such resources to animal welfare organizations throughout the U.S., RARF can advance initiatives that focus on keeping pets and people together, helping to create humane communities, and improving the lives of animals in shelters and rescues."
