Tom Brady Reacts to Death of Longtime Michigan 'Secret Weapon' Greg Harden

Tom Brady is preparing for his second game in the broadcast booth with FOX ahead of Week 2, as he will be commentating the Dallas Cowboys-New Orleans Saints contest alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

However, on Friday, Brady and the rest of the Michigan Wolverines community was dealt some tough news that briefly saw him put a pause on his preparations.

Michigan announced that longtime athletic administrator Greg Harden passed away due to complications during a medical procedure. Brady worked with Harden during his time at Michigan, and he took a second to share his reaction to Harden's untimely death on social media shortly after the news came out.

Harden worked with Michigan's student athletes behind the scenes to help them perform at as high of a level as they possibly could, and he was often referred to as the school's "secret weapon" for their athletic programs.

Brady worked alongside Harden during his time with the Wolverines, and the pair remained close throughout his NFL career, which saw him become arguably the greatest player of all time.

There's no doubt this is a tough loss for Michigan, and it's clear that Harden's tragic death has had a big impact on Brady.
