Tom Brady is quietly despised by his peers, the media outside of New England, and most west coast and mid-west sports fans. This most recent NFL finale proves Tom Brady is two things; the most hated QB in NFL history, and probably the best QB in NFL history.
Over 17 seasons, Tom has earned four Championship Game MVPs, has thrown 150 regular season TD passes, won four of the six “big games” he’s played in, and boasts a post season record of 21/8. He’s thrown 53 playoff TDs, and 13 “big game” TDs, both of which are records.
Tom was a sixth round pick for the New England Patriots in the 2000 draft; not a vintage year for QBs. His combine and scouting reports all said the same thing “fairly talented, but everything Tom did was slow.”
Here are a few more Tom Brady fun facts….
