Tom Brady tribute

Highlights of Tom Brady's Michigan career.

[@ASG0531]

Brady was reading defenses, identifying mismatches, and hitting open receivers way back in the day. He does this all day in the NFL. That's his game.

[@amaxlite]

Don't know how looking at this he was pick #200 in the draft...

[@leo50519]

When Steve Mariachi was selected as the Lions coach, I was thrilled. Finally, we had someone who knew football and worked with Joe Montana. What an idiot he was. Watch The Brady Six, He laughed at Brady..."Looks like he's never seen a weight room". What a stupid thing to say. The physical aspects of quarterbacking fall way behind the mental aspects and smarts. Two weeks in their gym and he could have been buff. What a stupid thing to say. They totally discounted his will to win and his intelligence. What an idiot.

[@thomashong2938]

Actually, pick #199.

[@amaxlite]

@@leo50519 Hindsight is 20/20 bro - easy for you to say that after you've seen what he's done ... TB looked like a couch potato dad trying to join the NFL - that's what makes his story even more amazing

[@amaxlite]

@@thomashong2938 very good bro

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

7 rings. GOAT

[@ASG0531]

People love to say how Brady was a nobody out of college ... he beat Drew Henson out of a job and was the Big Man at the Big House for two years, and beat Bama as an underdog. Brady has a very good collegiate resume.

[@MrMabloom]

It's amazing looking back at this. I disagree with some posters. I think Brady was doing a lot of the same things here as he did in the NFL. He was making anticipatory throws and putting the ball where his receivers had a chance and the defenders did not. He would read coverage and spread the wealth. He was hanging in the pocket and not panicking. I'm embarrassed to say I was one of the voices clamoring to see the young Henson. But Michigan could have been in the NT conversation if Brady was the full time QB in 99'.

[@chrisnnh]

Matt Bloom Appesrs to me Charlie Wise and Josh went back and studied Brady’s last 2 years in college. Ok...got this...and this....and this one. Oh hey, here’s another one we should put in the game plan.

[@DeeNice681]

I was the only guy who liked Brady in college. My brother and cousins would scream "Put in Drew Henson", I was the only one who said "Keep Brady in". I noticed Brady was the big game QB on the team. If Carr decided to just leave Brady in we would have won another national title!

[@Panglos]

I was like your brother and cousins. I bought all the hype about Henson and wanted to see the circus freak. The '99 season slowly changed my mind. After I traveled to Happy Valley and witnessed yet another comeback victory engineered by Brady, I started thinking, "Drew who?". Later it became apparent it was all a foreshadowing of things to come.

[@gasperm3]

They were both great, I just wish the timing of the two was better. IT would have been great if Drew was a freshmen after Brady graduated. Honestly, I thought all Michigan qb's were about the same talent, but Drew had the athleticism for running and trick plays.

[@jamester000]

yep you were the only one

[@thomashong2938]

Absolutely. Never let your brother and cousins ever forget that they liked Henson over Brady, who now has 7 Super Bowl rings.

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

Brady is the GOAT. They didn't know back then this was just fuel for the fire. Brady DOMINATED Big 10 competition and he BEAT Ohio State, something Michigan can't seem to do anymore. He beat Penn State. He beat Purdue. He almost came back for an impossible margin vs Michigan State. Comeback in the Citrus Bowl. Comeback in the Orange bowl - by 14 point deficits TWICE. He was the GOAT even then, it just took people time to catch up. His football IQ has always been precocious.

[@abelaldrich967]

I'm a Michigan fan we love Brady

[@petis1976]

@1000Sunny0 What Michigan games were you watching? How many times did Brady put the Wolverines on his back and carry them to a win when the defense fucked it away?

[@lamin6]

Incredible ball skills by brady. These scouts must be blind he was great in college and 10 games in both of his starting years.

[@maroti8256]

If you listen at 2:21 they are talking about how Brady doesn't match up to Brees but still had a decent resume. Here we are 20 years later...

[@thomashong2938]

Brady has 7 Super Bowl rings and Brees has ONE.

[@patriottomyself]

Funnest set of recievers to watch: Marquise Walker, Diallo Johnson, David Terelle, Tai Streets, Jason Avant. And of course lets not forget the Tight Ends Bennie Joppru, Jermy Tuman and Aaron Shea. Many Michigan players never made it to the NFL for whatever reasons, but they sure were a blast to watch in college, especially Walkers catch against Iowa.

[@juniorambriz4592]

brady should return to michigan so he can emberass that pathitac red school in ohio !

[@coletteGr4y]

no the fuck he should not. GO PATRIOTS!

[@scdorsey1]

amazing amazing experience in ign

[@pariscarter9]

This dude Tai Streets used to ball

[@alphab1]

i always thought Joe Montana was the greatest until Tom Brady came along! Nothing taken from Joe but Tom just does it better just because Joe had Rice, Craig, Jones, Taylor, Lott, etc. Tom can be given 2nd hand dudes and he's stil a winner...(again, just my opinion)

[@anthonymallari9893]

The greatest ever

[@halox37]

Brady's feet work here is flawless.who would've known that he would be a legend!!

[@Wolf.88]

halox37 Yes exactly. And he's proved in the pros. Like Montana, Brady proves you don't have to be a runner to have great foot work in the pocket. Underrated part of his game.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Brady was a badass.

[@famguy218]

Brady Hoke i guess. He recruited him

[@moheganson]

I don't see any "dinking & dunking" or a "system QB" LOOKS PROLIFIC TO ME

[@WB8BRA]

Tom Brady is the greatest QB in professional NFL football period. A Michigan GoBlue man who was drafted number 6. I knew he was great when he won in OT over Alabama.

[@bjdon99]

I think most of the receivers he had at Michigan are better than the receivers he had with the Pats (Except Moss).

[@DMichiganWol21]

I am still convinced that the 1999 team was the best Michigan Team I ever Saw...Yes, the 97 team defense was amazing but as a complete team...99 was amazing!

[@aaronjackson9385]

I agree. Loaded everywhere. Lloyd blew it!!! That team had so many NFL players who played a while too. Brady, Backus, Maurice Williams, Aaron Shea, Larry Foote, Dhani Jonss, Ian Gold etc. Special collection of talent..leaving Henson in too long blew the games vs MSU and Illinois that they shouldve won. I remember.Rocky Harvey tearing them up clear as day. Hard to believe that its been 20 years.

[@GuloGulo420]

Yeah Lloyd's inability to choose a QB killed us against msu, and his lack of desire to run up the score cost us the game against Illinois. With a better coach that Michigan team wins another natty.

[@cinderellaman7x]

Drew Henson should have never been taking any snaps from Tom Brady...wtf Lloyd?

[@8301TheJMan]

Tai Streets has got to be the single most underrated great WR not just in Michigan history for the past few decades but also the Big-Ten as a whole! I mean damn he was unstoppable and many forget how he was the Nation-Title Player of the Game and was both Griese's and Brady's go to guy for a couple seasons for Brian and then his Sr yr with Brady! He had great hands and speed, but people also forget about how big streets was! I mean Terrell was definitely bigger and though Braylon was certainly stronger and heavier, as well as being far more physically intimidating and a bit more physically-dominating at the WR spot - Tai was every bit as tall as Braylon, being 6'3" to 4", and was still certainly a pretty big and tough guy with great hands to go with being significantly faster than Terrell was! I absolutely adored Tai

[@Panglos]

Tai was a great. Of course, it helps if the passes thrown your way are extremely accurate.

[@softshoes]

He certainly deserved the #1

[@tekon1994]

this guy turned out to be pretty good!

[@Phillygoat1983]

He was a ok QB lol

[@truhiphoponly]

Nice to see Brady whoop Drew Brees . Hopefully he can do it today against the saints!!

[@jofi4580]

As of 2022, this is a video of the beginnings of the greatest professional QB ever to play the game. He has 7 Superbowl championships, Almost all of the career and single season and post season passing records, and is married to Gisele. They call him the GOAT. That's all you need to know.

[@brsfan66]

Brady can fine tune any of his weapons wheather it was with the Wolverines or the Patriots.Nobody did it better.He's the greatest quarterback in history as it stands right now.Lets wait for the next one but thats going to be a long wait.

[@retired5249]

Same Ole Brady! Heart of a Wolverine! Looks good in that winged helmet.

[@Wolf.88]

FORGET THE NFL, THESE ARE THE SWEETEST MEMORIES.

[@joewash5942]

anyone notice saban a msu head coach and at 8:31 Sandusky?

[@patriottomyself]

Besides Tom Brady, Jeff Backus was also on that team, he was a monster lineman in college AND the NFL.

[@snarloom]

@petis1976 What Michigan games were you watching? He brought back the Wolverines countless times, yes, but do you think he started those games? No he didn't. Tom Brady didn't come back and throw like THAT until his junior and senior years, when he still fought for his starting position. Tom was extremely skinny and came back when it mattered most. When defense doesn't work, the offense has to work, have you watched the Patriots recently? Obviously not.

[@markwilson9666]

Brady was given the nickname of the comeback kid while at Michigan because so many times he was called off the bench to pull them out of the hole their starting Qb put them in.

[@Derek-wd4vt]

The G.O.A.T...….

[@freak20ification]

How quick ppl forget.. ppl be sayin he got benched.. naw they gave a guy the spot bc they thought his “potential” was better than Tom Brady overall. I was 7-8 yrs old and could tell Tom was a G! Drew would always get us down, and Tom would dig us out.. jus like Jordan gettin cut.. you never forget that.. or the Brady 6.. #BRADY6 a ring for every QB drafted to have..

[@revlooshin]

i forgot just how good brady was as a U of M qb.

[@bennytherollinstoner1932]

Wish we could see some football like this nowadays very sad when will we be great again!!!

[@TheUnnamedAssailant]

So legit question, should Brady's #10 be featured like Desmond's #21 and most likely Charles #2 ? He has the resume and NFL success to back up such an honor.

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

Definitely

[@bobbyspatspatriotsuno2387]

[@PatsNation]

Imagine if KZbin started in the 90's. you would see people coming to this video from 13 years ago saying he would be a bust.

[@MichiganFilmmakerPR]

I don't think Michigan's offense is designed to showcase a QB's skills. It's a RB offense. It allowed everyone to overlook Brady's intangibles.

[@DannyBoy443]

The country can thank Llyod Carr for who he gave to the NFL. He was good in HS but Carr made him who he is. By the way, we have the best looking helmets. Only Oregon comes close.

[@ThAkIDRu]

That dude Streets tho!!

[@Wolvesq]

@shadow49100 Brady was a gamer at UM. He was this scrawny guy who rarely made spectacular plays but had a knack for pulling out fourth quarter wins which we loved. He was also somewhat limited by Michigan's traditional, conservative, run-first offense. But he won a lot, which is what matters most.

[@michaelking9130]

TOM Brady was and still is the best Michigan football Quarterback

[@antoinettemalone2212]

Who could forget that Tom Brady was an integral part of the Michigan Wolverines' "Dream Season" (1996-1997) - in which they were Co - National Champions with the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers?

It does if it motivates you, as it did Brady. It was a continuation of the challenging situation he found himself in at Michigan. Tom's mental makeup, resulting in the way he responded to the situations he was in, is what made him what he is.

It's so neat to see this video of Tom at Michigan. I really thought he was good, but I always thought Henson was better at the time, it's amazing that watching this kid here knowing he would transpire into the all time great. It's too bad Henson didn't commit to football, I definetely thought he could have even more success in NFL.

[@DJG37S]

I am a huge patriots fan, and people can see why brady wasn't picked earlier. In most of his highlights be probably made 2 or 3 throws that was a good throw. Almost all the other were great catches by the receivers, but one thing they didn't see brady in the scouting report was his desire to win. Ray Lewis said it best in the top 100 hundred back in 2011. Quote "He's not the biggest, He's not the strongest, he was never the fastest. He was overlooked and went in the 6th round. Every intangibles that a quarterback suppose to have, they overlooked, but him, it was burning from the inside of him." Great quote a person could describe brady was Ray Lewis. You can watch the full video if you youtube "Tom Brady, #1 top 100 nfl players of 2011."

[@PaddyRomp]

DJG37S A couple? He had a lot of great throws. Not once did I see the WR's have to go out of their way to get the ball, it was all delivered to them. He completed about 63 or 64% of his passes, underrated.

[@desmondd1984]

+MichiganFan39 Agree, I'm not seeing what the OP saw. I see a lot of fantastic throws in this video, but because he wasn't a hyped prospect, the commentators in the video rarely give him the credit, heaping praise on the receivers instead.

[@dabulls108]

[@DannyBoy443]

I don't think you can tailor that as much as you think you can. Brady was an exception that proves the rule but the only way to really show off a qb is Brady now, or in his second superbowl. In college, I would say Marcus Mariota of Oregon is a good example of how work with a new wb that really knows what he's doing from the front of the field to the back of it.

[@thomashong2938]

He was always good at every level. In HS, he turned a team that went 0-8 the season before he became quarterback into a championship contender. In college, he put his team into contention for a national championship. In the NFL, he turned a team that went 5-11 the season before he became QB 1 into Super Bowl champions. 19 seasons later, he went to a new team that was 7-9 the season previous and turned them into Super Bowl champions.
