Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is famous for many, many things, not the least of which is being a sixth-round pick (#199 overall) in the 2000 NFL Draft and highly improbably becoming the starter a year later due to Drew Bledsoe‘s injury and leading the New England Patriots to win the first Super Bowl in franchise history that year.

It’s been 23 seasons since then, TB12 is still playing in the NFL becoming the all-time leading Super Bowl winner with seven Lombardi Trophies on his impressive resume, and just 23 years later a 22-year-old quarterback who was drafted later than the ex-husband of Brazilian top model Gisele Bundchen has received, perhaps from heaven, a rare opportunity to start a legendary story.

Who is Brock Purdy?

Brock Purdy, who turns 23 on Dec. 27, took the place of Jimmy Garoppolo, who fractured his right ankle during the win against the Miami Dolphins in NFL Week 13 and will most likely get the chance to start for the first time in his career in the Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in TB12.

“He’s been playing football longer than I’ve been alive,” was Purdy’s press conference statement when asked about facing Tom Brady.

How are Tom Brady and Brock Purdy alike?

As we said earlier, Brady was a sixth round pick (#199 overall) in the 2000 Draft and was a starter until 2001, Purdy was a seventh round pick (262nd overall) in the 2022 Draft, just the last pick, making him “Mr. Irrelevant“, however, his first game as a starter would occur not in his second year, but in his rookie season.

Tom Brady’s Cinderella story is unparalleled, unless Brock Purdy improves on it, he has 23 years to do so.
