Tom Brady Set To Be Honored by Patriots at Home Opener

The owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft, invited the GOAT back to his first NFL team to be celebrated. Tom Brady’s record is nothing short of awe-inspiring. His last days at Tampa Bay made history, but let’s not forget the 20 years Brady spent with the Patriots.

At the turn of the millennium, the year 2000, Brady joined the Patriots. With the New England Patriots, Brady won 6 super bowls. Before his move to Tampa, he had already racked up 74,571 yards and 541 touchdowns… yep pretty good. To give a frame of reference, before Brady won his 7th Super Bowl at Tampa, he had already won more super bowls than any other quarterback had played in! Originally, Brady was drafted as the 199th overall pick, boy did the Patriots get a good deal. We could go on for a while here but for the benefit of the reader let’s move on.
