Tom Brady shares his advice for Shedeur Sanders after draft slide

Keyshawn Johnson shares what he believes would define a successful rookie season for Shedeur Sanders with the Cleveland Browns.

Tom Brady talked about the advice he gave Shedeur Sanders as he slid in the NFL Draft to the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns finally selected him with the No. 144 pick.

Brady was the No. 199 pick of the 2000 NFL Draft out of Michigan. The New England Patriots chose him. Drew Bledsoe was the team’s starting quarterback and Michael Bishop appeared in seven more games than Brady did in his rookie season. John Freisz also made an appearance in 2000.

When Brady received the chance to take the reins from an injured Bledsoe at the start of the 2001 season, he performed at an elite level. The rest was truly history.

Brady appeared on the "Impaulsive" podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak. He was asked about Sanders’ draft slide. He said he wasn’t involved in Sanders’ evaluation process even as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He critiqued the media’s narrative around the draft before he shared his words of wisdom to Sanders.

"So, nobody knows. I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well," Brady said. "And I said, ‘Dude, whatever happens, wherever you go, that’s your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft. I was 199. So, who could speak on it better than me – what that really means. Use it as motivation. You’re gonna get your chances, go take advantage of it.’"

Sanders had an NIL deal with the Brady Brand when he was the quarterback at Jackson State. It
