It is no surprise that the New England Patriots made it to Super Bowl LI with their leading quaterback, Tom Brady! This will be Brady’s 7th Super Bowl and, fingers crossed, 5th win. You must be wondering how Tom Brady got to be the quaterback legend that he is today. So let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how New England’s beloved Tom Brady got to be #12 on the field and #1 in our hearts.
- He started out as a well rounded, athletic, and cute as a button kid.
- He went on to begin his destiny as a football legend by playing at the University of Michigan. His athleticism wasn’t the only thing that improved over time either, just look at that face!
- He married and started a family with super model, Gisele Bundchen. #CoupleGoals
- Beginning as a backup quarterback, he was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2000 (that hair though).
- In 2001, he proved himself worthy of playing time with his powerful arm by leading the patriots to back to back wins and eventually, his first Super Bowl. He could’ve just won with that smile!
- He went on to play in 5 more Super Bowls, winning 3 more of them.
- And now, in 2017, he has played his way in to his 7th Super Bowl after beating the Pittsburgh Stealers in the AFC Championship!
Here’s to Super Bowl LI, good luck Tom!!!!
