Having already claimed the team had a first-round grade on Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL draft, former Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian called Brady one of the best passers he'd seen at the NFL combine.
On Instagram, the NFL shared a clip of Polian discussing some of the top quarterbacks he evaluated after selecting Peyton Manning first overall in 1998, with Brady's teammate Jimmy Garoppolo and Ben Roethlisberger leading the group:
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Roethlisberger 11th overall in 2004, while Garoppolo was a second-round pick of the New England Patriots in 2014.
