Where Are 6 QBs Drafted Before Tom Brady Now?
One-hundred ninety-eight picks came and went before the Patriots drafted Michigan QB Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft. Few, if any, figured that the late-sixth rounder would eventually lay claim to four Super Bowl titles and earn transcendent status as arguably the greatest quarterback ever. Brady is a 10-time Pro Bowler fresh off his fourth Lombardi Trophy, still chugging mightily along at 37 years old.
