Former Michigan quarterback Brian Griese says his initial impression of a young Tom Brady was not too accurate.
“When I first met Tom, he had long hair to his shoulders and he had just come from California,” Griese told ESPN’s Adam Schefter in a podcast episode that aired Monday. “All of us in the locker room thought he was a going to be this surfer dude.”
Griese — who overlapped with Brady for two seasons in Ann Arbor — said the team expected Brady to be a “chill” and “laid-back” guy. They soon discovered, however, the complete opposite was actually true.
