Why, why, why did he go so late in the draft?” The 47-year-old FOX Sports broadcaster took a moment of silence before answering that question. He went monosyllabic for a moment and then took a deep breath and said, “That’s a good question.” An X user commented, “Tip toed all around that question.”But that’s not all that the 5-time Super Bowl MVP said.Tom Brady gave a lengthy explanation to that tricky question, only because he could connect with Shedeur Sanders.

Tom Brady said there used to be a lot of integrity in the media industry

Before going straight to Shedeur Sanders, Tom Brady said, “That’s the problem with media - everyone can just say whatever the f*ck they want and get away with it. It’s kind of unfortunate, coz there actually used to be a lot of integrity in media, and there’s way less now because everyone needs crazy voices to get heard, and it actually, probably hurts a lot of relationships, which is not the goal of broadcasting. It should be to develop, and cultivate, and solve problems, and rather than critiques, I want people to offer solutions all the time.”

3-time NFL MVP awardee Tom Brady advised Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders that Day 2 matters more than the draft

Bringing his focus to Shedeur Sanders, Tom Brady said, "So, nobody knows - I actually texted Shedeur coz I have known him very well. I said, “Dude, whatever happens, wherever you go, that’s your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft.” I was 199! So, who could speak on it better than me? Like, what does that really mean? Use it as motivation. You’re going to get your chances. Go take advantage of it. Wherever you end up going, it’s about your performance. Like, what do you do when you get there? Because you’re gonna get there.”

15-time Pro Bowler, Tom Brady, shared that Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, Rodney Harrison, and Wes Welker weren’t all high picks

Brady shared, “I was around some of the best players who were undrafted free agents - Rodney Harrison wasn’t a high pick. Julian Edelman wasn’t a high pick. Wes Welker wasn’t a high pick. Danny Amendola - all those guys were phenomenal players. So, what’s it matter? Other than some overhyped day where a lot of people are selling stories and saying, “Alright, this is the big day and this is the draft.”It’s an important day, and it’s fun. I love watching it and seeing it. But, I have also been there on Day 2, and they gotta show up and learn a playbook, learn to be a part of a locker room. There’s a lot of growth that needs to happen.”
