Lack of mobility is right. I bet this dude couldn’t run for 1000 yards if he played 18 years.

[vancebouaphakeo]

He will get cut after preseason. Poor guy. He never stood a chance in the NFL.

[dannyhantx]

I just woke up from a 18 year coma. Can someone tell me how this 6th round draft pick's career turned out?

[darrylwoodbury]

"Can he do that at the pro level?"

7 Super Bowl Championships

[bobbyferguson]

He’s not gonna play a game in the NBA.

[youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw]

Dude looks like a bust to me. Honestly he'd have to win like 5 super bowls to prove me wrong.

EDIT: 6*

EDIT 2022: 7 and then retire as the GOAT

[tyfelmingham]

What a wasted talent. Could have been a star if he worked hard enough

[ramshangout]

He was good for Michigan but I don't see him competing in the NFL. Wasted pick

[mikefm]

This is why I love sports. Who would have ever guessed draft pick 199 would become the greatest qb of all time, change an entire franchise and still be playing at an elite level in 2022

[funkyflights]

Changed the Patriots entire franchise, ONE draft pick late in the draft, and the rest is history …

[andrewcomments]

Got drafted during a commercial break rofl!

If you listen closely, you can hear Max Kellerman in the background saying Brady will fall off the cliff immediately after getting drafted.

- On 3rd and 10 with 5:11 remaining in the game... Drew Bledsoe attempted running for a 1st down and was hit hard by Jets LB Mo Lewis and Shaun Ellis but was 1 yard short.

- With 3:36 remaining.... The Patriots get the ball back and Drew Bledsoe comes back out for the next series. With good field position the Patriots ran 2 run plays for 8 yards. suffered a false start penalty then turned the ball over when Bledsoe hit FB Marc Edwards with a quick shovel pass but then promptly fumbled the football. A coach's challenge by Belichick but the ruling on the field would stand. Jets take over.

- With 2:16 remaining.... The Patriots would get the ball back but this time.... Drew Bledsoe remained on the sideline. Michigan alum Tom Brady came out onto the field.... and a legend was born.

**Fun Fact**: This is also the same game where the Patriots had the Tuck Rule called against them. Foreshadowing for the future.

*November 23, 2001* : Coach Bill Belichick announces to the media that Tom Brady will remain starter for the 2001 season even with Drew Bledsoe now back healthy. Just 6 1/2 months after signing his new contract and Tom Brady only making $300, 000/year. Drew Bledsoe is PISSED about being benched and sharing his frustration about the situation publicly with the media.

*April 22, 2002* : The New England Patriots trade 30 year old 3x Pro Bowler and 9 year veteran Drew Bledsoe to the Buffalo Bills for the Bills' 2003 1st Round Draft Pick.

(This pick would result in the #14 overall pick in 2003 draft. Patriots traded this pick and their 6th rd pick that year to move up 1 spot to #13 and select DE Ty Warren).

The rest is history.

[Joeybatz]

Kiper was actually Pretyy good on Brady just said he wasn't mobile but always wins! And he was right

[SoulOnIce]

Imagine if he said "In at pick 199 the QB that will become the greatest NFL player of all time. Good pick."

[yoh.]

Can’t believe they showed a run td in the highlights.

[bergtheth]

Sorry I just don’t see this guy making it in the league. A backup at best but that’s about it.

[depressedtexansfan]

Everyone’s talking about how Brady is going to be a bust, look at this Mike Sherman dude. He looks like he’s about to bust someone’s lungs

[deathboy]

Tom Brady and Nikola Jokic are the only MVPs to be drafted during commercial breaks

[sams]

199 means no expectation, no end result salary, no media, no pressure! Personal drive and motivation is priceless
