The seemingly ageless fitness magnate Tom Brady called not being drafted into the NFL “a blessing in disguise,” especially after he started his fitness empire TB10 (Tom Brady, number 10 from his playing days at Michigan.) He certainly is no worse for wear after his company went public and made him a billionaire overnight.
And I just read his book as well, the one about the counterterrorism unit working out of Michigan’s football team - good for him to get the university’s permission to use the school’s name and history - and it was good but not super-awesome.
Could Brady have been anywhere near as good a quarterback as he is a businessman? Was anyone going to take a chance on him or would he have made it as a UFA?
