Tom Brady retiring: Look at how other QBs in 2000 draft class fared
FOX Sports host Chris Myers discusses reports claiming the legendary QB will be retiring from the league.
Tom Brady was famously picked with the 199th selection in the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots.
Brady was thrust into a game during Week 2 of the 2001 NFL season after Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury. The rest is really history.
Brady was the seventh quarterback selected in the draft and there were 12 quarterbacks taken overall. Every team at the time had a shot at drafting Brady but completely missed out. Twenty-two seasons and seven Super Bowl titles later, teams are still regretting not making the pick.
