Among the many ridiculous records and feats star Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has accomplished over the years, his current streak of Pro Bowl nominations flies a bit under the radar.
Perhaps a big reason why is because despite being nominated a whopping 13 times, Brady has only actually played in the Pro Bowl twice – once in 2004 and once in 2001. Many of his absences can be attributed to the Patriots usually playing in the Super Bowl, but even in the years New England didn’t make it that far, Brady has bowed out from the exhibition all-star game to avoid meaningless injury.
