Tom Brady has been in the NFL for two decades now. He was famously the last of the QB’s to be drafted in 2000 but has gone to win it all with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.

The iconic QB parted ways with his beloved Patriots earlier this year. He left to join Tampa Bay Buccaneers in search of a new challenge. However, the Patriots will always hold a special place in Tom’s heart.

Brady and the New England Patriots had a stellar 2007 season playing under Belichick. The talented QB led the Patriots to the first 16-0 season in NFL history that year.

Randy Moss and Tom Brady were the talk of the league back in 2007. Moss was acquired by the Patriots at the start of the season and proved to be a smart piece of business by Robert Kraft and Co.

That night against the Bills, Brady and Co. were unstoppable. They played a near-perfect game in what was already turning out to be a flawless season for Belichick’s boys.
