The UFL is enlisting legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady to award the league's championship game MVP trophy this weekend.
According to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal (h/t Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio), the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star will hand out the MVP award following the title game between the San Antonio Brahmas and Birmingham Stallions at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis on Sunday evening.
Since the UFL championship game is airing on Fox, Brady is a natural choice to be involved with the post-game ceremony, as he will begin his role as Fox's lead NFL analyst during the 2024 season.
Also, Brady knows a thing or two about winning championships and MVP awards, as his seven Super Bowl wins over the course of his 23-year NFL career are the most by any player in NFL history.
Brady was also named Super Bowl MVP on five occasions, along with his three NFL MVP awards.

The Dome at America's Center will be packed with plenty of star power on Sunday since WWE legend and Hollywood acting sensation Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson figures to be in attendance as well due to his status as part-owner of the league.
After the revamped XFL folded, The Rock headed a group that purchased the league in 2020, and it returned to the field for the 2023 season.
While the XFL and USFL were spring football competitors last year, they decided to merge, forming the UFL for the 2024 campaign and beyond.
Former University of Nebraska and Kansas State University quarterback Adrian Martinez has a chance to go for the clean sweep of MVP awards if he manages to play well in a Birmingham win.
Martinez was named the inaugural UFL MVP after leading the Stallions to a 10-1 record, and he may add UFL championship game MVP to his list of accolades if the Stallions can get revenge against the only team that beat them this season in the Brahmas.
