Additionally, Brady is scheduled to be the color commentator for the Eagles vs. Bills game on FOX on December 28th, continuing his role as a FOX Sports broadcaster.

Early Life and Education

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born on August 3, 1977, in San Mateo, California, to Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr. The youngest of four children and the only son, he was raised in a Catholic family with three older sisters: Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Growing up, he was a fan of the San Francisco 49ers and idolized quarterback Joe Montana, regularly attending games at Candlestick Park.

Brady attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, where he excelled in football, basketball, and baseball. He began his high school football career as a backup quarterback on the junior varsity team. He eventually earned the starting varsity position during his junior year. As a talented baseball player, he was selected by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft. However, Brady chose to pursue a football career and committed to the University of Michigan.

At Michigan, Brady’s football career had a slow start. He was redshirted in his first year and served as a backup quarterback for two seasons. He became the starting quarterback in his junior year, leading the Wolverines to an Orange Bowl victory in his final season.

NFL Career Beginnings

In the 2000 NFL Draft, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was selected by the New England Patriots in the sixth round as the 199th overall pick. Initially, he served as the fourth-string quarterback, seeing limited action in his rookie season. His opportunity came in the second game of the 2001 season when starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe suffered an injury. Brady stepped in and became the team’s starter for the remainder of the season.

Rise to Prominence with the Patriots

Under the leadership of Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., the New England Patriots embarked on a period of remarkable success. In his first season as the starting quarterback, he led the team to an unexpected victory in Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis Rams, where he was named the Super Bowl MVP. This was the first of six Super Bowl titles he would win with the Patriots.

The Patriots, with Brady at the helm, established a dynasty, winning back-to-back Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004 (Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX). He earned his second Super Bowl MVP award in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The team completed a perfect 16-0 regular season in 2007, with Brady winning his first NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award after throwing a then-record 50 touchdown passes. He would go on to win two more NFL MVP awards with the Patriots in 2010 and 2017.

Over his 20 seasons in New England, Brady led the Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances, winning six (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII). He was named Super Bowl MVP in four of those victories. His tenure with the Patriots is widely regarded as one of the most dominant runs in NFL history.

Stint with the Buccaneers and Seventh Super Bowl

In March 2020, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This was Brady’s seventh Super Bowl win, the most by any player in NFL history. He was also named the Super Bowl MVP for a record fifth time. During his time with the Buccaneers, he set several franchise records and continued to perform at a high level.

After the 2021 season, Brady announced his retirement, but reversed his decision 40 days later. He played one more season with the Buccaneers before announcing his final retirement on February 1, 2023.
