Jeff Darlington reveals what went on behind the scenes as Tom Brady pondered coming back to the NFL. (2:47)

On a day dominated by college basketball, Tom Brady turned the spotlight squarely back on the NFL with one unanticipated tweet.

TB12’s message began, “These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands.”

The TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) version? Brady is back.

The 44-year-old will be rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom he played with for the past two seasons. Brady earned his seventh Super Bowl ring with Tampa at the conclusion of the 2020 season after his 20-year tenure with the New England Patriots came to an end.

These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
