Tom Brady’s Rose Bowl appearances 

The legendary quarterback, who has left an indelible mark in the NFL, also had noteworthy moments in college football. While he didn’t partake in the 1998 Rose Bowl, Brady made a significant impact in the 2000 Orange Bowl, guiding his #8 Michigan side to victory with a career-high 369 yards and four touchdowns. His exceptional performance helped the Wolverines overcome two 14-point deficits during regulation play. Tom Terrific led his team to a tight 35-34 win in overtime. During Brady’s final NCAA play, he threw the game winning score to tight end Shawn Thompson.
