Patriots QB Tom Brady had another successful season in the NFL. In 2017, at the age of 40, Brady was able to win the MVP award, and lead the Patriots to Superbowl 52(lost to Eagles).
Brady will be 41 by the start of next season and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Entering his 19th season in the league, Brady has won five Super Bowls, which is the most by any quarterback in the history of the NFL
How does a guy who was a sixth-round draft pick turn himself into possibly the greatest quarterback of all-time? One of his former teammates in New England, TE Fred Baxter, who played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Jets, Patriots, and Bears, believes Brady’s upbringing is a big reason for his success:
“There’s no doubt in my mind the success that he is having is all because of his upbringing with his family,” Baxter explained. “Also, the power within himself to compete and bring out the best in his teammates.”
To Baxter’s point, Brady willed the Patriots to the Super Bowl last season. They easily could have lost to the Jaguars in AFC title game, and the way they were able to compete in the Super Bowl against the Eagles, was because of the greatness of Brady.
