In addition to Martin, the Aces made several other notable picks in the draft, including Dyaisha Fair, Elizabeth Kitley, and Angel Jackson. With these additions, the team aims to strengthen its lineup and compete at the highest level in the upcoming season.
A potential NFL comeback
Meanwhile, Brady has been making headlines of his own, recently dropping hints about a potential return to football. Despite officially retiring from the NFL in early 2023, Brady hinted at the possibility of a comeback, expressing his readiness to stay in shape and continue playing if the opportunity arose.
This speculation has sparked excitement among fans and pundits alike, reminiscent of Michael Jordan‘s iconic return to basketball after a brief retirement.
