Quarterback Tom Brady was the 199th pick overall in the 2000 NF L Draft, taken in the 6th round by the New England Patriots. After riding the bench during his rookie year, he was thrust into the starting role during a Week 2 match-up against the New York Jets after starting QB Drew Bledsoe was knocked out of the game due to injury. Since then, Brady would go onto having a career that would encompass 6 championships, over 70,000 yards passing, over 530 TD passes thrown, multiple All-Pro and MVP awards, and be considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history. But then on May 17, 2020, there was a big announcement that shook the sporting world. That after 20 years playing for the New England Patriots, 20 years playing up in Foxborough, Massachusetts, 20 years of playing under the Flying Elvis that the man who was synonymous with “Greatness” and “Championships” and considered an ageless icon in Bostonian sports history would play in a different uniform for the 2020 NFL Season. Yup, you read that right folks. Tom Brady is no longer a member of the New England Patriots. Mark Colley
