I know it's a highlight reel but seriously, how the hell does one look at that
and not take a flier in at least the 2nd or 3rd round? Amazing! The 199th
pick in the draft...

It had to have been his size. He was quite skinny for a college QB.

His legs were quite thin back then.

Also maybe his speed. Did you guys see at :38 seconds Brady's run? LOL he looked like he was pulling a truck behind him! The one great thing about Brady that this highlight reel will never show is his will to improve. He is probably 10 times faster now than he was in college!

3 things I thought while I was watching that:

1) He was absolutely FRAIL
2) Those are exactly the throws he is making now, as well as his reactions to the blitz
3) I finally forgive him for the TDs against my Buckeyes

I think that any NFL GM watching that film would have drafted him in the first round IF he gained 20 lbs. I just saw EVERY quality that makes him the best QB in the NFL, with the exception of the most important (that it is impossible to see in a 4 min film) his ability to JUST WIN.

BB is on record as saying he was almost afraid to put Brady into games in his rookie year because he was so frail.
I have absolutely no doubt that he dropped to the 6th round SOLELY because teams felt he was simply too small to make it in the NFL, and also absolutely no doubt that if he didnt work his @ss off from the day he was drafted until his second year, and get bigger and stronger, he never would have made it in the NFL.
