Subject: Better and better

A Lazarus story?

Tom Brady is widely considered the greatest pro football quarterback who ever played.

 

He had good career at the University of Michigan, but not spectacular. Certainly not enough to get much consideration from NFL organizations.

 

In the NFL draft, he fell to 199th pick overall. He was third- to fourth-string as a rookie. He never played in the regular season.

 

In his second season, he won the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP in a career where Brady won 7 Super Bowls and won the Super Bowl MVP 5 times.

 

Fair to say that Tom became much better quarterback in the pros than he ever was in college.

 

Matter of fact, he ran a faster 40-yard dash at age 45 than he did at the NFL Draft combine when he was 22.

 

How can this be possible?

 

Because Tom kept getting better and better.

 

 

As always,

Brian
