Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., professionally known as Tom Brady, is an NFL quarterback for the New England Patriots. Born on August 3, 1977, he spent his first 20 seasons with the team and won five Super Bowls titles during that time.
In 2016, he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame to recognize his outstanding career.
Tom is a fan of the San Francisco 49ers. One of his biggest heroes growing up was Joe Montana, who played for the 49ers at the time.
Tom regularly attended games at Candlestick Park, sitting in the front row with his father at every chance he got!
And when exactly did he see what would later go down in history as "The Catch"? On January 16, 1981, during their NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, that was when!
Montana threw a pass to a wide receiver named Dwight Clark, which gave them an additional twenty-one yards - it was one amazing catch!
The Rise to Fame of Tom Brady
When he first began playing football, Tom played on his Junior Varsity team at the beginning of his career.
At the start, he wasn't good enough to be one of the starting members. He had to work hard and practice longer hours than the rest in order to prove himself worthy of taking the leadership type role for his team.
His hard work and dedication helped him rise through the football ranks quickly until he was moved up onto the Varsity roster by his senior year.
Tom was popular and also an excellent baseball player in high school. As a left-handed-batting catcher with serious power, he had a special ability that attracted the attention of MLB scouts, who then drafted him in the 1995 MLB Draft.
He was projected to be a future star by Montreal Expos general manager Kevin Malone, who claimed that Tom had the potential to become "one of the greatest catchers ever."
After attending the University of Michigan, Tom played football in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 years. He was drafted 199th overall in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, later earning him a reputation as one of the league's biggest draft steals.
The following year, he became the starting quarterback during his second season, which saw the Patriots win Super Bowl XXXVI.
With him as their primary starter all eighteen seasons, they won seventeen AFC championship games and nine Super Bowl title appearances with six wins.
Tom has won nearly every major quarterback record. He holds all the records for most completions, passing yards, touchdowns, games started, and most Pro Bowl selections.
Tom never had a losing season and has always been an NFL leader for career quarterback wins. He also holds the Superbowl record for most victories in Quarterback games with three. The only player to win QB playoffs in three separate decades, Tom is also the only MVP to have been rewarded twice with this award.
