Nobody had a clue that Tom Brady would turn out the way he did, except for John Madden.
Almost twenty years ago, the legendary announcer just knew Tom Brady would be the real deal and he was correct.
During Thursday night’s season-opening game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys, NBC played a clip from Week 1 of the 2002 season that featured the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The sixth-round pick who took over for Drew Bledsoe the year before received a great compliment and prediction from Madden.
He may have known he was the real deal, but he likely had no idea Brady would still be playing football in 2021.
