The New England Patriots drafted the legendary quarterback Tom Brady in 2000, and he spent 20 seasons with the franchise. Notably, Brady won 6 Super Bowls with them. Along with 6 Super Bowl triumphs, during his run with the Patriots, Brady was crowned the MVP of the League three times. No other player has won more Super Bowls than Brady in the game’s history.

After leaving the Patriots in 2020, Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unsurprisingly, in the 1st year at Tampa, Brady added another Super Bowl to his resume. This win cemented Brady’s legacy, as he proved that he could win without Bill Belichick as well.

In the latest episode of the ESPN+ series, “Man in the Arena,” Brady talked about a unique story that motivated him for the 2018 Season. Notably, it was the season where Tom Brady won his last Super Bowl with the Patriots.

Tom Brady learned a lot from the story of the ‘Chinese farmer.’ His perception of things completely changed. As a result, he was able to achieve more success with the Patriots by winning his 6th Super Bowl.

Tom said, “As difficult as it was, to go to the Super Bowl, have a challenging year and lose, that experience gave me a perspective on the moment I was in. I enjoyed that year, I enjoyed those relationships. And I enjoyed the opportunity to compete again in the Super Bowl.”

As this was the last Super Bowl win of Tom’s career in New England, it was very special for him. Primarily, due to the circumstances and pressure around that win.
