Brady’s journey to become a football superstar started long before he cemented his status with the Patriots and the Bucs. At the age of 23, he was just an ordinary guy and a backup quarterback fresh out of the University of Michigan, with dreams of NFL stardom. Despite facing uncertainty and continuous “struggles,” Brady remained resilient throughout his journey. However, in case his dream didn’t come true, he had a ‘plan B’– to work in corporate jobs.

In 2014, Brady shared a glimpse of his past for the first time on Facebook by posting “Found my old resume! Really thought I was gonna need this after the 5th round.” His one-page resume showcased his 3.3 GPA in Business and Psychology, summer internships at Merrill Lynch, and various odd jobs he undertook during his college years. It painted a picture of a young man navigating the corporate world while harboring aspirations of achieving gridiron glory.
