In the video, Brady makes a number of long-distance completions to a wide receiver at a high school facility.
The video, made in partnership with NoBull and posted on his Instagram page, is accompanied by an epic soundtrack and drone footage.
“Then I got under the bench press for the first time in 15 years,” Brady added.
Many NFL fans were blown away by Brady’s throwing abilities at the age of 47.
“Please come out of retirement,” one fan said.
“Just unretire bro, stop edging us like this,” another said.
“Beautiful! Miss those Tom Brady spirals!” a third fan noted.
“One more run,” a fourth pleaded.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion hasn’t played a game of football in 18 months – but he has continued to show himself to be in NFL-ready shape.
Earlier this month, he posted a video of himself working out topless on his European vacation.

During a sequence, Brady was seen shirtless on a yacht while someone asked him why he’s “flexing for social media” with his shirtless workout social media clips.
“I just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement, they still got something to deal with,” he said.
In April, 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.”
Brady added he wasn’t sure he’d be allowed back into the league if he becomes an owner, as he has been on the quest to acquire a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
This week it emerged that Brady’s minority stake purchase in the Raiders could have major implications for his new broadcasting career.
Brady will make his eagerly awaited debut in the Fox Sports broadcast booth next month.
The NFL icon signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with the network in 2022 to become an analyst.
But his new venture could be hampered by his delayed investment in the Raiders.

Brady’s bid for 10% of the NFL franchise has been stuck in the league’s finance committee since last summer.
Should his application be approved by NFL owners later this year, his new role on Fox could be hit by “unique and severe restrictions,” per ESPN.
Team owners were given a presentation by the league at Tuesday’s NFL meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Brady’s potential conflict of interest means he would “not be permitted to be in another team’s facility,” per the ESPN report.
The outlet also claims Brady would be “unable to witness practice and would not be permitted to attend broadcast production meetings.”
The NFL has numerous rules in place that apply to all owners.
One rule states the former superstar quarterback would be prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams.
He could be “subject to fines or even a suspension” if he went too far on air, per ESPN.
Brady would also be subject to the league’s gambling policy.
And he would be permitted only “strictly social communication with members of other clubs,” according to a slide presented by the NFL and seen by ESPN.
