Boston got hit with over a foot of snow in a Nor’easter blizzard last week, giving me two unexpected days off of work. Somewhere in between organizing my bookshelves and doing absolutely nothing else, I watched The Brady 6 on YouTube.
It’s a fairly old (2011) ESPN documentary about Tom Brady, back when he only had three Super Bowl rings. The basic premise, in three parts:
1) There were six quarterbacks taken ahead of Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft.
2) In hindsight, Brady probably should have been chosen sometime before the 199th pick (maybe like a 4th round steal if teams had another chance at it)
3) None of the QBs taken before Brady had anywhere near the same type of career as him.
