Tom Brady at the 2000 NFL Draft Combine.
Tom Brady is now 39 years old and just completed his 17th season as a quarterback for the New England Patriots, winning his fifth Super Bowl.Despite his age, Brady is still one of the top quarterbacks in the league and continues to add to his legacy as arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game.
Brady's amazing career began in April, 2000, when the Patriots famously rolled the dice and drafted the Michigan quarterback in the sixth round with the 199th pick overall. New England made the move despite Brady being thoroughly unimpressive at the NFL Combine.
Just as famously, six other teams drafted quarterbacks before Brady. Below we take a look at what happened to those other quarterbacks and remember that the next great NFL quarterback may not be a first-rounder.
