Tom Brady made his name with the Patriots as he became one of the best QBs to have ever set foot in the game. He led the team to all 6 of their Super Bowl wins in a career that spanned almost 2 decades. Having joined them at the turn of the Millennium, Brady would bag every award available with the Patriots.

Brady’s time with the New England outfit saw him build a relationship with his coach and the owner. The trio would oversee a long relationship between them during their time together with the Patriots with Robert Kraft developing an affinity for Brady. Kraft recently revealed some of his feelings for Brady in an article published on the New York Post.

After retiring from the game in 2019, Brady would not be able to stay away from the game. His return to the game saw him take on a new adventure with the Bucs. He could have joined the Patriots, but the relationship with Bill Belichick and other factors would mean he chose a new path. And the path would ultimately help him seal his legacy as he switched to Florida.

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are one of the most synonymous coach-player duos. Together they won 6 Super Bowls, in under 2 decades and broke numerous records.
