Who is Tom Brady

Tom Brady was born on the 3rd August 1977 and is one of the greatest American NFL quarterbacks to have ever played the game. He went to college at the University of Michigan and was subsequently drafted as the 199th pick by the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL Draft. In the following 20 seasons, he achieved unparalleled success, playing in nine Super Bowls and winning six. As well as that, he has picked up countless individual accolades including MVP awards and holds records for titles, playoff appearances, passing yards and touchdown passes.

An inspiration to many in the game, he continues to play and has joined the Tamba Bay Buccaneers, hoping to continues his legacy. However, it is important to note that his legacy is tainted by the Deflategate scandal that engulfed the New England Patriots in 2015/2016, and his alleged involvement led to him receiving a 4 game ban. This, of course, didn’t stop his success and he went on to win subsequent Super Bowls.

Brady is regularly listed in teams of the decade, top 100 players of all time and the top quarterback of all time and the quotes below provide an insight into the man he is and what has driven him to such success.
