The Bucs quarterback earned FedEx Air Player of the Week honors twice in 2020, Week 4 and Week 17. His three FedEx Air Player of the Week honors with Tampa Bay are tied for the most in team history.

By winning the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week award, FedEx will make a $2,000 donation in Brady’s name to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), which will be applied towards needs-based scholarships to deserving HBCU students.
