Tom Brady: career
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. nasce a Saint Matthew, in California on August 3, 1977. Can a player picked on the sixth round of the Draft Nfl get to win seven editions of the Super Bowl? The answer is yes. Selected with choice number 199, Brady ends up in the New England Patriots, where he even starts as the fourth quarterback in the rotations. A position that will keep very little, because Brady already from the second year imposes himself as owner. The injury to the owner Bledsoe opens the doors to him in the role of owner and Brady does not let him escape, starting a crazy ride made of victories and records.
With New England wins the Super Bowl in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, 2019, losing instead the editions of 2008, 2012 and 2018. In 2021 the seventh success, with a different shirt on, however, that of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He holds the record for the number of NFL successes, touchdown passes, yards conquered, passes completed. With that bionic arm he also set the record for the longest pass for a touchdown. With an average physique, Brady has built his career on an extraordinary work ethic, coupled with unmatched intelligence and speed in reading.
