Tom Brady Cracks Joke On Anniversary Of Being Drafted By Patriots

Can you believe that veteran quarterback Tom Brady was drafted by the New England Patriots two decades ago? The Patriots drafted the quarterback with the 199^th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft. Yes, he has been around for more than two decades. Impressive, right?

Brady went through a lot in the meantime. He won six Super Bowls with the Patriots and made three other appearances. Things took a different turn and Brady left the Patriots to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. TB12 will never forget his time with the Patriots. He celebrated another anniversary of his first contract with the team.

The veteran quarterback took to Twitter to deliver a big thought.

Big Day. My NFL career can legally buy a beer.

Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots long ago

The Patriots drafted Brady 21 years ago. Wow. Most players can’t even accomplish that. Brady is the perfect role model for everyone. He is the greatest of all time. That joke was really good, Brady!

Brady had an impressive career with the Patriots. He won six rings with the Patriots and snatched another in his first season with the Buccaneers. Brady led the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl in his debut with the team. Let’s not forget that Brady plays elite football at 43. He will turn 44 in August.

We can’t forget that Brady joined the NFL in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. We couldn’t really believe that he’d get this far. Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft respect Brady and everything he did for the team.

Belichick had a hard time replacing Brady. He signed Cam Newton to a one-year deal in 2020. The Patriots missed the playoffs in 2020 but Belichick decided to give him another chance. Newton inked a new deal with the team. Belichick brought him back. Will he draft another player in the upcoming draft? This year’s class is filled with talent. There are several great options for the team. Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones, Justin Fields… They can easily end up on Belichick’s team.
