The greatest quarterback in NFL history is about to be taken down a few pegs — with his own approval.

Tom Brady will be an executive producer and the first subject of a new Netflix comedy special series called “Greatest Roasts of All Time” — or “GROAT” — per Variety.

Brady’s roast will be filmed in 2023, though the list of celebrity roasters has yet to be announced.

The Buccaneers quarterback is producing the show through his company, 199 Productions. Comedian Jeff Ross, who earned the nickname “Roast Master General” from his frequent appearances on Comedy Central’s roasts, is also an executive producer.

Though he is returning for a 23rd NFL season this fall, Brady is already making big plans for retirement.

Earlier in May, Brady reportedly agreed to a deal with Fox Sports to be its next lead game analyst. He’ll make between $20 and $25 million per year on the job — by far the most in the industry.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
