(Reuters) - Overlooked as a college quarterback and a lowly sixth-round draft pick by the National Football League's New England Patriots in 2000, Tom Brady rose to become one of the game's greatest winners.
The handsome signal-caller with steely nerves and an intense competitive streak steered the Pats to a record six Super Bowl appearances, winning four of them and taking home Most Valuable Player honors in the NFL's championship game on three occasions.
Brady, married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen and nicknamed "Tom Terrific," seemed to live a charmed life before being branded a cheater in the NFL scandal dubbed Deflategate.
