Okay, so I saw this “Tom Brady draft picture” thing trending, and I got curious. You know, the one where everyone’s posting that super old, kinda awkward photo of him from the 2000 NFL Draft? Yeah, that one. I wanted to dig into it a bit, just for fun.
My Little Investigation
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up my trusty image search.
I typed in “Tom Brady draft picture” – simple enough, right?
Boom! Tons of images popped up. Most of them were, indeed, that famous shot of him looking… well, let’s just say he wasn’t exactly a superstar yet.
Then, I started looking at some articles and stuff. I wanted to see what the big deal was. Why was everyone suddenly talking about this picture again?
It turns out, it’s kind of a classic underdog story. I mean, here’s this guy, picked 199th overall – practically an afterthought! – and he goes on to become arguably the greatest quarterback of all time.
Getting the Full Picture(hehe)
So, I decided to get the full picture (pun intended!). I dug a little deeper.
- I found some old news articles from back then. It was pretty cool to see the initial reactions to his draft. No one expected much, obviously.
- I even stumbled upon some forum posts from that era. The comments were hilarious! Lots of “who’s this guy?” and “he’ll never make it” type stuff.
The picture itself
Focuss back on the photo, I mean, the guy’s got this plain white t-shirt on, and the photo’s quality it’s not the great, and he’s not exactly striking a Heisman pose.
My Takeaway
So, after my little deep dive, I totally get why this picture is so popular. It’s a reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and that even the most unassuming beginnings can lead to incredible things. It’s a fun little piece of sports history, and I’m glad I took the time to check it out!
