Back in 2000, not many would have predicted that 199th overall pick Tom Brady would go on to make NFL history while playing for AFC East franchise, New England Patriots. Against all odds, the California-born quarterback made the most of the opportunities that came his way in Boston.

From the very moment that he came on for an injured Drew Bledsoe, Brady had just one thing on his mind – to cement himself as a Patriots starter and impress head coach Bill Belichick. That’s exactly what he did as he went on to lead New England to 6 Super Bowl titles during a 20-year stint in Foxborough.

“When it comes to the football, you know, I would say, Coach Arians. He’s an incredible leader, but he’s not a micromanager. He allows the coaches to coach, ‘I’m going to see what I’m going to see and I’m going to add my input where I think I need to add it’.”
“And, you know, Coach Belichick is very hands-on with the defense, a little less so with the offense, but a lot with the special teams and obviously coronavirus, I really haven’t had a normal season yet, you know…it’s good for my brain to relearn a drive to work as simple as that sounds, learn new restaurants, or to learn new neighborhoods,” Brady said during the interview.
