If anyone doubted the greatness of Tom Brady, the last season should’ve dispelled those apprehensions. The quarterback won a historic 7th Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first season with the franchise.
Brady, who was drafted by the New England Patriots back in 2000, won 6 of his Super Bowl rings with the franchise. Alongside Head Coach Bill Belichick, the phenom established one of the greatest NFL dynasties of all time.
But many still doubted Brady. People saw him as a system quarterback who could only excel if the circumstances were in his favor. Signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 season, Brady had the chance to prove his doubters wrong.
