Brady is arguably the biggest name to get in on the NFT craze to date. While some celebrities such as Grimes and meme creators have made serious money in the NFT market, Brady's involvement is the first major link between NFTs and the sports world.

While Brady jumping into NFTs appears to lend some legitimacy to the crypto boom, some people were less bullish about the news.

Extremely excited to see people pay more for JPGs of an athlete’s autograph than the actual autograph would cost. https://t.co/KvizpbfKGg
