Since joining Twitter and other social media platforms, Brady has been known for having a great sense of humor. Soon, people started sharing the famous & old unflattering photo of him, from the 2000 NFL combine. As soon as Brady caught the notice of a user sharing his old photograph, Brady asked Musk to “ban” him.

But times have changed now. With seven Super Bowl titles, five Super Bowl MVPs, and three NFL MVP awards, the legendary quarterback stands tall.
