A few months ago, Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the NFL. After a disappointing season with the Buccaneers, the 45-year old quarterback said goodbye. 

Brady was selected by the Patriots with the famous 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. After Drew Bledsoe got injured, Brady received the opportunity by head coach Bill Belichick and the rest is history. Six Super Bowls won with New England and one more with Tampa to become the greatest player ever.
