Tom Brady believes the Las Vegas Raiders are already seeing the benefits of bringing Alex Guerrero’s methods into the building.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has trusted Guerrero with his body for two decades.
Now that same recovery system has been pushed inside the Raiders and Birmingham City.
Tom Brady credits Alex Guerrero for Raiders’ injury performance
Speaking on The Overlap, Brady explained how Guerrero’s recovery work moved from his personal career to the teams he now helps influence.
“He started to train me with a lot of recovery treatments that got me feeling back to 100% really quickly, after games and injuries. Now we just run those protocols for the entire team”.
Guerrero is Brady’s longtime body coach, close friend, and business partner. He began working with Brady in 2005 and later became central to the TB12 Method, an approach built around muscle pliability, band work, hydration, nutrition, recovery and durability.
Brady has often credited that system with helping him return from his 2008 ACL tear, play until 45 and avoid the kind of recurring pain that ends careers earlier. That is why his endorsement carries weight, even when Guerrero’s methods have faced skepticism inside traditional NFL circles.
The Raiders have made the relationship formal. Their own staff directory lists Guerrero as Wellness Coordinator and says he oversees several departments to enhance the health and well-being of players, coaches and staff.
Brady said Las Vegas had one of the lowest injury rates in the NFL, pointing to fewer soft-tissue issues, more practice time and greater lineup continuity as the payoff.

This is not just an NFL story.
Brady has also brought Guerrero’s methods to Birmingham City, where he has a minority ownership stake. On his own site, Brady wrote that he had begun incorporating Guerrero’s treatment and training methods into both Birmingham and the Raiders.
He also noted that Birmingham posted a 92 percent player availability rate during a historic season, a significant number in soccer, where repeated sprint load, fixture congestion and recovery windows often decide availability.
Guerrero’s influence has not always been universally welcomed. In New England, his role became a flashpoint, and reports have suggested similar frustration among some Raiders figures.
Brady recognizes Guerrero as the architect behind the recovery system that kept him at the top of the sport longer than anyone expected, and hopes he excels with the Raiders and Birmingham City.
