The former Northwestern quarterback has a lot more in common with the four-time Super Bowl champion than you might think.
The Tom Brady story--how the star New England Patriots' quarterback was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft (199th pick overall) and eventually become a Super Bowl machine--has been one that is oft-mentioned during draft season.
Whenever an overlooked quarterback is picked in the late rounds, immediate and often-ridiculous comparisons are made to Brady, who has won four Super Bowls at the helm of the Patriots, a franchise that went from assured mediocrity in the decades before Brady to dominant force with him.
