During his 19 years in the NFL, Tom Brady has seen plenty of players enter and leave the New England Patriots’ quarterback room. From Damon Huard to Matt Cassel to Kevin O’Connell to Ryan Mallett to Jimmy Garoppolo — just name a few. One member of the group is a former sixth-round draft pick that spent just one year in New England and later traded the playing field for the sidelines: Kliff Kingsbury.
While Brady is still going strong even at age 41 and currently preparing to play in his 38th playoff game, his former backup was named head coach of the Arizona Cardinals — further illustrating just how impressive Brady’s longevity is.
