Tom Brady was born on August 3,
1977 in San Mateo, California. At 6 foot 4 inches tall and about 225 pounds, he
is the perfect size for an NFL quarterback,
Yet Tom Terrific brings much
more to the game than that. He is also capable of moving around in the pocket
if need be, and of course his smarts are among the best in the game as well.
With all of that in mind it is easy to see why Brady has been one of the best
players in the NFL for almost two decades.
After playing high school
football in the state of California, Brady decided to take his game to the
University of Michigan. Although he would have to sit on the bench his first
two seasons, he made a name for himself soon enough. During the 1998 and 1999
seasons Brady started every game for the Wolverines. He made the All Big Ten
team in both seasons, and was even the captain of the team as a senior. His
leadership and determination went a long way in helping the Wolverines achieve
success while he was running the offense.
Brady was drafted in the sixth
round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He was passed by time
and time again by many teams, but soon enough he began to stake his revenge on
them. After a slow rookie season, Brady stepped into the starting lineup in
2001; he has been there ever since. In 2001 he finished the season with 2,843
yards and 18 touchdowns.
During his time in the league
Tom Brady has been invited to the Pro Bowl Team 14 times, and has won Six Super
Bowls. Not only has Brady done a great job in making himself the best QB to
ever play the game, but he has always done the same for his team as well.
