After Tom Brady was taken 199th in the 2000 draft, Patriots fans would've been pleased had the San Mateo, California, native ably skippered New England to a few victories as a backup. They got more than they could've dreamed as "Tom Terrific" has established himself as one of the best gunslingers ever. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler with three Super Bowl wins (in two of which he was named MVP) and five conference championships. He's also earned several sportsman/athlete of the year honors.
