Brady was a sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots out of Michigan. He was 210-64 as a starter with the Patriots after taking over for Drew Bledsoe.
He moved to Tampa Bay in 2020 and played two seasons with the Buccaneers, winning one Super Bowl. Brady’s record in Tampa was 24-9 and he threw 83 TD passes for Bruce Arians with the NFC South team.
