New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady refused to say if he'll join his team for the traditional White House visit when asked on Thursday.

The president hosts the Super Bowl champion at the White House, and although Donald Trump's administration hasn't formally invited the Patriots yet, the team is expecting to visit the nation's capital.

"Next question," Brady responded when NBC 10 Boston's Perry Russom asked him whether he intends to visit the White House.

Brady missed the team's trip to the White House two years ago, citing family issues.

"People love to come to the White House. So the Patriots were here two years ago and I'm sure they'll be back," Trump told Margaret Brennan of CBS News prior to the Super Bowl.

Patriots defensive backs Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty, and Duron Harmon previously said they won't join the team on the visit.
