Patriots' Tom Brady Says He's Worn Same Shoulder Pads Since 1995 Michigan Debut

Tom Brady's shoulder pads technically qualify as a millennial.

The New England Patriots quarterback first revealed in August on NBC Sports Boston's Quick Slants the Podcast he has worn the same shoulder pads for 25 years.

"They've gotten reconditioned a little bit, but I think once you find something you like, you kind of stick with it," Brady said then. "I've always kind of liked the way they felt, the shape of them. People have tried to put me in a lot of other ones."

Jon Falk was Michigan's equipment manager when Brady started his career with the Wolverines in 1995.
