Patriots Drafted Tom Brady With 199th Overall Pick 19 Years Ago Today
Tuesday marked the 19th anniversary one of the most important — and simultaneously infamous — days in NFL history.
We’re talking, of course, about the day the New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady.
As you know, the Patriots selected the Michigan quarterback with the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. Brady was the seventh signal-caller taken in the draft behind the likes of Giovanni Carmazzi, Chad Pennington and Tee Martin.
