Since becoming one of the faces of the NFL, Tom Brady has had a picture-perfect public image. There have been very few stories of him doing anything that could be considered ‘wrong’ other than maybe the occasional display of poor dancing. In fact, most of the time he’s been discussed off the football field it’s been for his charitable or business endeavors.
As a teenager, however, Brady was just like many people around the world. He had his rebellious moments and partook in some activities that were illegal for someone his age.
Brady, in his interview with Howard Stern, mentioned how he drank and smoked marijuana as a teenager. Brady said, “I definitely had some fun in high school with partying and drinking and smoking weed on occasion.” However, Brady seemed to have a change of heart because he said he “felt like I was letting my dad down.”
While it’s known that Brady is able to chug a beer with the best of them, it’s evident that he didn’t follow down a partying route. That could’ve jeopardized the opportunity that he had in front of him to become a quarterback at Michigan and then eventually in the NFL.
