About Tom Brady

Tom Brady was born on August 3, 1977, in the town of San Mateo, California. He is the only son of Galynn and Tom Brady Sr. and has three sisters, Maureen, Nancy, and Julie.

All of his family members were great athletes, playing every sport imaginable. Brady had a ton of support at his games as his family always came to cheer him on to victory.

He grew up with memories of attending San Francisco 49ers games, and was a huge fan of quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. The 49ers were his childhood team and led him to a lifetime love of football.

He is most famous, of course for being the star Quarterback of the New England Patriots.  Brady has become the superstar of the league.  He has won two NFL MVP and four Super Bowl MVP awards. He set a record with five Super Bowl wins after the Patriots victory against the Atlanta Falcons in 2016.

Early Athletic Career

Tom Brady had a love for sports from the very beginning of his life. He excelled, playing both football and baseball at Serra High School. He graduated in 1995 and joined the University of Michigan football team, despite having been offered the opportunity to play professional baseball.

For his first two years at Michigan, Brady didn't get much playing time. But in his junior year, he became the starting quarterback and completed 350 passes for 2,636 yards. In his senior year, Brady led the University of Michigan to victory in the Orange Bowl.

NFL Career

The New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 draft. He initially was used as a backup quarterback and only left the bench during one game of his first season.

In 2001, the starting quarterback, Drew Bledsoe, faced a devastating injury. Brady had to take over and proved himself to be a strong team leader with a great arm.

No one could doubt his abilities once he led the team to an impressive eleven wins in the fourteen games that he started. At the end of that season, Brady helped the team win Super Bowl XXXVI over the St. Louis Rams and was the game’s MVP.

Two years later he would lead the team to another win during Super Bowl XXXVII, when the Patriots played the Carolina Panthers. He again was rewarded with the MVP award.

In 2004, Brady did it again. The Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in the Super Bowl. The team re-signed Brady in 2005, giving him a six-year contract, and in 2006 the Patriots had a 12-4 record for the regular season.

In 2007, the Patriots had an undefeated regular season and were attempting to become the 1^st team to complete the entire season without a loss since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately, they were not able to beat out the New York Giants during Super Bowl XLII.

Overcoming Injury

At the beginning of 2008, Brady had a knee injury that required several surgeries.  This forced him to miss the entire season.

Many people wondered if he would be able to return to the game as the same Tom Brady, but he proved any of his doubters wrong when he made the Pro Bowl the following year.

During the 2011 season, he helped the team earn a place in Super Bowl XLVI where the Patriots battled the New York Giants once again. Unfortunately, the team did not get the win, falling to the Giants to the score of 21-17.

The 'Deflate-gate' Scandal

In the 2014 season, the Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game to earn another trip to the Super Bowl. After the game, several of the balls were revealed to be underinflated, against NFL rules. Brady was accused of knowing that the balls had been altered.

Amidst the frenzy of the Super Bowl media, Brady focused on preparing for Super Bowl XLIX where he led the team to victory against the Seattle Seahawks. This win made him the third quarterback ever to win four championships and the second ever to win three Super Bowl MVP awards.

Prior to the beginning of the 2015 season, it was revealed that Brady most likely did know that the balls had been altered and he was suspended for the first four games. The team appealed the decision and Brady would not end up serving his suspension until the 2016 season.

In 2017, Brady once again helped the Patriots win the Super Bowl, this time against the Atlanta Falcons. Down 28-3, Brady led his team to the most impressive comeback in Super Bowl history, winning 34-28 in overtime.  This victory made Brady the first quarterback to take home five Super Bowl rings in NFL history. He also secured a fourth Super Bowl MVP award and made Tom Brady memorabilia worth more than any other football player.
