Tom Brady's on the downside of his career and- and if you asked me if he'll
ever get to another Superbowl, I have one answer.
No way, no how.
Does he wow you throwing the ball?
No.
There was some other guys that could shoot it and he had just an
okay arm.
At the Combine when you watched Tom you saw this tall, gangly looking kid
looked like he haven't ever seen a weight room, ran a 5-2 something, one of the
slowest quarterbacks in the Combine.
This is the draft report on you.
Basically it goes: poor build, skinny, lacks great
physical stature and strength, lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush,
lacks a really strong arm, can't drive the ball downfield, does not throw a
really tight spiral, system type player who can get exposed if forced to ad-lib and
gets knocked down easy.
That kind of gets me fired up because I'm thinking you know, what the hell do these
people know?
A lot of people don't believe in you.
Has been- is obvious by you know six other
quarterbacks taken and 198 other picks and I always felt, you know what?
Once I get my shot, I'm gonna be ready.
I'm gonna really take advantage of that.
It's gonna be a great comeback guys.
It's gonna be a great comeback.
Hey!
Take it to another level alright?
Michigan is continuing to try to get Henson more and more opportunities
to go out there and get experience because his up side
is so much higher than Tom Brady's.
I never played football until my freshman year and as a freshman, I was the backup
quarterback on a team that was 0-8.
He wasn't deemed good enough to play one offensive play as a quarterback.
There were seven guys on the Depth Chart when
I got there.
The only reason why I played my sophomore year was because the kid
who was the freshman quarterback stopped playing.
He said I'm not playing football anymore.
So I was like I guess I'm gonna play and I always had a decent arm, but I just
really took to the game.
Against Penn State, Michigan trailed by ten in the final minutes.
Reaches for the touchdown, Michigan and the legend of the Comeback Kid was born.
He was skinny, slow right?
Too pretty to be a football player but he was smarter
than everyone and he studied night and day, day and night.
Nobody works harder than Tom Brady.
We were led to believe that he's gonnna be drafted, possibly
second round, probably third round.
You see, you know so-and-so get picked and then
there's nine more picks gone until one team that you think was interested...
you know that's- you get pretty anxious.
It was hard.
I remember taking a walk with my dad and mom around the block.
It was just a tough day you know?
I just remember being there with my mom and dad and-
sorry about that.
In my estimation, he's the greatest of all time.
I said I know who you are, you're our sixth round draft choice
and I always remember he looked me, like a laser, eye to eye and he said that's
right and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.
He's not the biggest, he was never the strongest
he was never the fastest, he was overlooked, he went in the sixth round, so
with that being said, every- all of the
intangibles that a quarterback is supposed to have, they overlooked with him because
it was burning from the inside
of him.
He's a winner.
He has a big heart and he doesn't like to lose.
Ready, looks, looks, looks... fires down the field, clock 35:30,
touchdown.
Great job by Tom Brady escaping and then having the presence of mind to look upfield.
Like when is this dude gonna give up?
He ain't never gonna quit.
Never.
So until the triple zero's hit the o'clock you gonna get
everything Tom Brady has.
I played against one of the great ones.
I'm talking about the greatest of great.
I think he's one of the best in the history of this league.
To me, what separates really good players from great players?
Executing well under pressure.
The biggest games, the greatest stage and I think that's what playing
quarterback is all about.
Brady tonight is playing in his seventh Super Bowl, the most of any player in Super
Bowl history will be gunning for a record-setting fifth win.
I can not believe what I'm witnessing so it is on to overtime.
To beat this team and to get down 28:3 there's just a lot of mental toughness
by our team and we're all gonna remember this for the rest of our life.
