He had tears in his eyes remembering being scared of not being drafted. When the patriots picked him up. He became so focussed, he turned into Darth Brady.
Sucks to be part of the Brady 6. Always getting asked about him, living in his shadow. These guys are working 9-5’s and Tom is worth 200mm and has no end in sight
The only QB better than Hurts is, in this draft is Lawrence. We have too many needs to waist a first round pick on QB that isn't better than we have already.
What a champion. I didn't know how hard he had it for him starting I thought he had everything given to him! Round 6th and the 199th pick and he goes on to win 7 X Superbowl, 5 X Superbowl MVP's. Moral of this, DON'T GIVE UP, WORK HARD AND KEEP STRIVING !!
All the other greats like mj and barry sanders and Joe montana , even terry bradshaw who came from little know la.tech was expected to be great,. But brady it's like wth..
Tom Brady's story is so inspiring. After all the success, you forget where he came from. Being left behind and forgotten while others get picked before him. It must have been heartbreaking, and so many people can relate to that feeling in some way. But he didn't drown in those feelings, he rose up.
Hey who wants to turn to Christ and live and obey him this life is temporary compared to all eternity in hell Jesus loved you to die for you and this isn’t a religion it’s a relationship. You should read the Bible it’s very important it has all the answers you need. Now you may say but I’m a good person or God loves me and if you believe in God then your good but I bet you didn’t know that not even forgiving others is enough to send you to hell Jesus is very serious about sin no sin is worth going to hell for I would turn to Christ if I were you Jesus is coming soon and he’s coming back with no mercy but the good news is that he’s happy to forgive you of your sins and wants to talk and be your Heavenly Father you can live in heaven forever
Brady had one call to go to Michigan.... and it was reported this last season only two serious calls were interested in Brady.... Chargers and Bucs... imagine winning 6 SB and only two teams made the serious call of interest... Brady just won his 7th SB ring, there was in a 7 QB lol depth chart in Michigan when Brady got there, he was the 7th QB picked in his draft...also there were 12 QB taken in this draft, which is his football jersey #... fun fact, he was also drafted by Montreal Expos in 95
I am a lifetime Buckeye, Steeler fan , but it pains me to say it with Tom being a Michigan qb to a mew England mega star but he now has to be the greatest athlete of any sport ! Step aside Mike and Wayne ! Tom is a genius in every was shape or form and is the king of sports !!!
@Patrick Merkel They wasn’t right about Brady though. Just because someone is a good athlete doesn’t make them a good QB. Brady’s mindset, football IQ, and work ethic is what makes him great
The crazy thing about Brady is that he was hiding in plain sight. It's not like he didn't deliver at Michigan. There was so much attention put on the NFL combine and Brady's physical attributes at the detriment of actual results on the field. There's no question he is an outlier, but this is still a complete systemic failure of scouting. The idea that NFL QBs need to be the fastest, strongest, most agile players is silly. Much more than that, they need to understand how to read defenses quickly, target the open receiver, and deliver the football accurately. They don't necessarily need to be a physical specimen, though arm strength and height certainly help. On those attributes, Brady was tall enough, and whatever he was lacking in strength he clearly made up for in the weight room. Lack of arm strength has never been an issue, nor for that matter, has any of the less important physical attributes by which he was incorrectly downgraded. You can't blame scouts for missing some of the intangibles (such as his dedication, leadership, and competitiveness), but the games he played at Michigan were very much tangible.
It’s not just the scouts that were wrong it’s every team was wrong. You can ignore your scouts and draft to you want anyway. New England waited until the sixth round.
How can this be man great when all he do is pass? You can't compare him to other greats like Jordan, Woods or even Curry. No skills on just passing with your team mates protecting you.
@julius o The NFL investigators also found 3 of 4 (that’s all they had time to test at halftime) Colts footballs were under inflated. No suspensions, no fines, no going to court over it. They were just after Brady and the Patriots. No one deflated footballs on the Patriots or Colts side. The PSI went down in the footballs due to the weather being cold and rainy. Same thing happens to car tires in the winter.
I mean, NFL investigators found that nearly all of the dozen footballs the Pats had active for that game were all under inflated. It's pretty black and white.
