Tom Brady was famously overlooked in the NFL draft. Everyone went straight to him for the fact that he had no obvious talents. He was considered too skinny, too slow and not quite tough enough to really be part of the NFL. No team seemed willing to take a chance on him. When the NFL draft came, Brady fell through each round with no team selecting him.
When all was said and done, Brady was selected in the 6th round of the NFL draft by the New England Patriots. He was the 199th pick. Everyone thought it was the biggest mistake a team has ever made. How could a team choose a skinny, slow quarterback with no real potential over all of the other more talented prospects that were out there? Surely, the Patriots were going to regret this decision.
Little did everyone know that Brady would turn out to be one of the best quarterbacks of all time. He has proven all the naysayers wrong by leading the Patriots to 5 Superbowl championships and being selected to 14 Pro-Bowls. It is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable stories in the history of sports.
What Tom Brady achieved is a true testament to his hard work and dedication. Despite being overlooked in the draft, he persevered and worked on his craft in practice. His coaches saw the potential in him and decided to give him a chance and it paid off. Brady is an inspiration and his story is something that will be told for years to come.
It’s amazing to think that Brady was only selected in the 6th round; 199th pick, of the NFL draft. It’s proof that anything is possible if you are willing to put in the hard work and dedication. Brady didn’t give up when he was overlooked, instead he proved everyone wrong and turned himself into one of the most successful quarterbacks of all time.
It’s hard to put into words just how remarkable Tom Brady’s story is. In many ways it’s the classic underdog story that we all love to root for. Brady was overlooked, but he fought through and proved everyone wrong. He’s an inspiration and someone I admire greatly. All it goes to show is that anything is possible if you put in the hard work and dedication.
