Bucs QB Tom Brady took to Instagram today to let everyone know he still hasn’t forgotten about what happened to him in the 2000 NFL draft.
They say you should forgive but never forget, but it seems Tom Brady hasn’t learned the forgiveness part yet.
Brady, the new Buccaneers quarterback, was famously selected in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft, after six other quarterbacks were taken ahead of him. We all know how that story played out. Brady went from afterthought to starter after the Patriots’ Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury early in the 2001 season. Brady led the Patriots to a Super Bowl win over the heavily favored St. Louis Rams that year and the rest is history.
With six Super Bowl titles on his resume, along with four Super Bowl MVPs and three regular season MVPs, you’d think Brady would be over what happened to him in the 2000 draft. Well, think again. After all, Brady isn’t a master motivator by just letting go of a grudge. If you needed more proof of that, check out his latest post on his Instagram story.
Again, this guy could turn a missing straw in his McDonald’s order into bulletin board material. You have to love his competitiveness.
Hey, teams that passed on Brady…
