Tom Brady Reveals How He Learnt Maths as He Recalls 2000 NFL Debut in a Wholesome Meet with Young Fans
Visibly moved by the gift, Brady shared, "That was the first game I ever played, that was a 2000 Hall of Fame game wow and that year going into the Hall of Fame was Joe Montana, Howie Long and Ronnie Lott – three of my favorite players. One Raider, two 49ers, and the 49ers were my favorite team growing up and Joe Montana was my favorite quarterback."
While Brady's debut in the 2000 Hall of Fame game might not have been a statistical marvel, he completed 3 of 4 pass attempts for 28 yards in the final quarter.
It definitely marked the beginning of what would become one of the most illustrious careers in NFL history.
This game, a preseason exhibition match between the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers, was more than just Brady's first appearance on an NFL field.
It was a symbolic passing of the torch, with Brady's childhood hero, Joe Montana, being inducted into the Hall of Fame that same year.
Brady's remembering about his favorite childhood players and teams underscores the full-circle nature of his career.
From a young fan collecting cards of his heroes to becoming a legend in his own right, Brady's journey is a tale apt to explain the power of passion and perseverance.
Having officially retired in February 2023 after 23 seasons in the NFL, Brady is now set to join the ranks of his childhood idols.
He is expected to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028, a fitting culmination to his unparalleled career.
