Tom Brady announced his departure from the Boston-based team in March 2020, after an impressive tenure, to join Tampa Bay’s NFL squad. His parents, Galynn Patricia Brady and Tom Brady Sr. reside in San Mateo, California, where Tom Sr. is the Founder, Chairman, and Principal of an insurance firm, ‘Thomas Brady & Associates’. And, if not for the NFL, the QB might be an agent in the firm. Hours before the NFL Draft, Brady was once again trending among fans due to the real emotions and greatness of the favorite NFL quarterback of all time.

Brady’s emotional video about his parents shows his passion for the game and the unexpected twists of the 2000 NFL draft. The video highlights the possibility that he could have become an insurance agent for survival, but destiny had other plans for him. The tears shed by Brady were unhelpful but added to the emotion of the moment.

Tom Brady’s untold emotions of his NFL Draft

Tom Brady remembered the anxiety he felt as the draft progressed, nine more picks went until one team, they thought might be interested. As the draft continued, Brady recalled being downstairs during the fourth round, and the fifth round began, seeing other players being picked while his name was not called.

Tom Brady got up at the beginning of the sixth round, grabbed a baseball bat, and started walking up the street because he was so anxious. He preferred to distract himself instead of waiting anxiously for the draft. Brady returns during the 6th round’s 22nd pick, exclaiming his desire to leave, it was really tough.

Brady became very emotional at this point and said that it was a hard day. He remembered taking a walk with his dad and mom around the block. Tom got tears in his eyes recalling this situation. It was just a tough day. “I just remember being there with my mom and dad”. Tom Brady said that his parents are not as emotional as he does.
