The story of Tom Brady's draft pick is one of the most legendary underdog tales in NFL history. Forget the Super Bowls and the MVP awards for a moment – rewind to the 2000 NFL Draft. Teams weren't exactly clamoring for the Michigan quarterback.
Brady waited... and waited... and waited. Six rounds. 198 players selected. Finally, with the 199th pick, the New England Patriots took a chance on the skinny kid with the unimpressive combine numbers. He was the ultimate afterthought, practically 'Mr. Irrelevant.'
Initially, he was fourth on the depth chart. But destiny had other plans. An injury to Drew Bledsoe opened the door, and Brady walked through it, never looking back. His improbable journey from a late-round draft pick to arguably the greatest quarterback of all time is a testament to hard work, determination, and proving everyone wrong. The Tom Brady draft pick wasn't just a selection; it was the beginning of an era.
