Tom Brady talked about the advice he gave to SheDer Sanders as he slipped into the NFL draft in the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns finally chose it with the choice n ° 144.
Brady was the n ° 199 choice of the Michigan NFL 2000 draft. The Patriots of New England chose it. Drew Bledsoe was the quarter-Arrière starting from the team and Michael Bishop appeared in seven more games than Brady during his recruit season. John Freisz also appeared in 2000.

When Brady had the chance to take the reins of an injured Bredoe at the start of the 2001 season, he played at an elite level. The rest was really in history.
Brady appeared on the “Impaulsif” podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak. He was questioned about the slide of the Sanders draft. He said he was not involved in the Sanders evaluation process even as a minority owner of Las Vegas Raiders. He criticized the account of the media around the project before sharing his words of wisdom in Sanders.
“So no one knows. I actually sent a text to SheDer because I know him very well,” said Brady. “And I said, ‘guy, whatever happens, wherever you go, it’s your first day. Day 2 counts more than the project. I had 199. So, which could talk about it better than me – what it really means. Use it as motivation. You will have your chances, take advantage of it.'”
Sanders had an Nile contract with the brand Brady while he was the quarter of Jackson State. This helped start the relationship between the two athletes. Sanders was then transferred to Colorado once his father, Deion Sanders, took office as a head coach.

Brady remembers looking at the cover around Aaron Rodgers during the 2005 draft. Rodgers was to be a n ° 1 choice before the 49ers of San Francisco took Alex Smith.
“I remember when they talked about Aaron Rodgers slippery and Aaron slipped at 21 in the first round or anything. I said to myself” guy, you are the 21st choice in the first round. I think they always think you’re quite good. You are always a great player. So use it as a motivation, “he said.” Wherever you end up going, it’s always your performance. Like, what do you do when you get there, because you will get there. “
Brady said that some of the grown -ups with whom he played on the Patriots were not high or selected draft choices, notably Rodney Harrison, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola.
He described the project as “an over-type day, where many people sell stories and say, okay, it’s the big day, it’s the project. And it’s an important day, it’s funny, and I love watching it and seeing it. But I was also part of day 2, where there is in fact a lot of growth that needs a game book, learning (to) do part of a room.
Sanders will now try to win the starting station with the Browns. He must beat Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel.

“He must present himself every day because, as a quarter-arre, you must be a leader,” added Brady. “And for me, a leader is: do I care about my teammates and I care about what we are trying to accomplish?”
