No one in the history of the NFL has dominated the sport quite like Tom Brady. The 7-time Super Bowl-winning QB has done it all and won it all.
Brady, who was drafted by the New England Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, proved to be the greatest draft steal of all time.
Winning 6 Super Bowl titles with the franchise, the QB transformed the Patriots from playoff hopefuls to Super Bowl-winning juggernauts.

The QB did the same when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season as well. Joining as a free agent, Brady was desperate to break the belief that he was a system QB.
And he did just that by guiding the franchise to Super Bowl LV in his first season at Tampa. Beating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 at their home ground, the Bucs went from zeroes to heroes thanks to Brady.
In the offseason, the quarterback signed a contract extension with the franchise which will see him endure as a Buccaneer at least till the end of the upcoming season.
As Brady prepares for another run at the Super Bowl, the QB has also had some occasional fun on Twitter.

Tom Brady recently fueled the crypto craze by updating his profile picture on Twitter with a laser eye effect. This particular edit is of certain significance as it is part of the Laser Eyes Bitcoin Trend.
The origin of this trend can be traced back to February 2021 when Bitcoin holders changed their profile picture with the Laser eye edit.
Part of the hashtag #LaserRayUntil100K is a movement where Bitcoin owners keep their profile photo with the laser edit until the price of Bitcoin reaches $100,000.
And Twitter was thus quick to jump on to the scene.
The internet will break if @TomBrady tweets "Pay me in bitcoin."
