Cardinals HC reveals how Tom Brady overshadowed him during their time with the Patriots

When Tom Brady arrived to the NFL, no one expected great things coming from a 199th Draft pick. He proved everyone wrong to become a legend for the New England Patriots, but now Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals‘ head coach and his former teammate, has revealed his career could’ve been very different if Brady had not overshadowed him.

The Patriots will remember forever what Tom Brady did for them during his time at Boston. Nobody expected great things from him, but he managed to win six Super Bowls and become an absolut legend for them.

Of course with a great quarterback like him, the Patriots didn’t need anyone else to fight for the starting job. That’s something Kliff Kingsbury will remember forever as he couldn’t succeed with Brady in the same roster.

Kliff Kingsbury gets real on how Tom Brady overshadowed him

During Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season, the Cardinals faced the Patriots in a very tough match for both parties. New England won against Arizona, which brought some not so good memories to Kliff Kingsbury.

The Cardinals’ head coach entered the league when the Patriots selected him in the six round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Unfortunately for him, Tom Brady already had proved his abbilities and there was no way that Kingsbury could’ve stolen the job.

“The total commitment, lifestyle, sleep, eat, study, work that he’s put into that, it’s insane,” Kingsbury said to ProFootball Talk. “When I got there, I thought I worked hard, then I watched what he did and put into it and it was on a whole different level. There’s a reason he’s the best there ever was.”
