Tom Brady was decked out in Raiders gear as he made a shock appearance at Las Vegas practice on Friday.
The NFL legend is now a minority owner in the team but owner Mark Davis previously said he wants Brady to have a ‘huge voice’ in shaping the Raiders’ future.
Brady was seen mingling with players as they continue training camp ahead of the new NFL season.
It was his first public appearance at practice since NFL owners last year approved his bid to become a minority owner in the team.
Brady and his partner Tom Wagner own 10 percent of the Raiders, with Brady holding a 5 percent stake in the franchise.
The legendary quarterback, who won seven Super Bowls across an extraordinary career, has also turned to broadcasting in retirement.
Brady last season began a 10-year, $375million deal to become an NFL analyst on Fox Sports.
Amid allegations of a possible conflict of interest, Brady is forced to follow several special restrictions with Fox.
He is not allowed in another team’s facility or to witness practice. The 47-year-old is also banned from attending broadcast production meetings, when TV crews meet with head coaches and key players.
As an owner, he is also bound by certain league policies that, for instance, prevent him from publicly criticizing officials and other teams.
