Tom Brady at 38

Tom Brady turns 38 today as the Patriots began training camp. Tom Brady will be suspended for the first four games of the season for his alleged role in the Deflate Gate scandal. We all no the story but the fact of the matter is if Brady was involved or not it shouldn't do anything to his legacy. Brady throws a football like no one else and many believed his career would never take off. Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. Brady was a guy no one thought would be an NFL star let alone a starter.

Tom Brady won three Super Bowl titles very quickly in his NFL career. When Tom Brady took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001 he led the Pats to a Super Bowl title. He was the game MVP. Two years later Brady led the Pats over the Panthers in the Super Bowl and led them past the Eagles the following year. Brady led the Pats to 3 titles in a 4 year span.

After the Patriots won the title in 2004 they would continue to have dominating teams but could never get over the hump and win the title. In 2007 the Patriots had an undefeated regular season. It was the best Patriot team Brady ever played for loaded with Randy Moss and Wes Welker. When the Patriots met the New York Giants in the Super Bowl they lost the game and the undefeated season. The Patriots would make the Super Bowl again In 2011 but ultimately suffered the same demise loosing to Eli Manning and the Giants.

Tom Brady has won two MVP awards and now is a four time Super Bowl champion. Brady led a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks. Brady was named the MVP of the game. Brady has had a marvelous career as he continues to climb up the NFL statistical leader boards. Brady will go down as one of the best to ever play the game.
