And I admit, I’ve always liked Brady even back when he was still at Michigan.

“Take me in the Sixth Round, huh, I’ll show you”. He’s 40 years old now and that chip is still on his shoulder.

I never knew he went that late in the draft.

Tom is in good company though.
Joe Montana was a seventh rounder, John Unitas was cut by the Steelers and played semi-pro for a couple of years, Kurt Warner had to play arena ball before he made it in the NFL.
Warren Moon, though never winning a SB, had to play six seasons in the CFL before the NFL gave him a shot in Houston.

Not bad company for Tom to be in.
At least the Pats had sense enough to recognise a diamond when they saw one.
