Tom Brady arrived in the NFL as arguably the biggest reject at the 2000 NFL draft. Quite literally, Brady was the 199th overall pick that year by Bill Belichick-coached New England Patriots.
The Robert Kraft-owned franchise chose Tom as the 6th and the last quarterback from that year’s draft ceremony. The rest, as they say, is history.

“I think his emotions or feelings never evolved with age. I think in time, with Tom, as Tom got into his late 30s or early 40s, I think Bill was still trying to treat him like that 20-year-old kid that he drafted.
