Some say that Tom Brady is the best quarterback to have played the game. That is the kind of debate that will stir arguments for years. However, there is one factoid about Tom Brady that is interesting. He was drafted in 2000. The New England Patriots selected him.

In that draft, he was the 199th player selected.

With all the scouting done and the focus on finding the next franchise player, somehow Tom Brady was overlooked. This may be something that is relegated to Tom-Brady-trivia. To a player as competitive as Tom Brady is, it would seem that this is motivation.
