Among the few things that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady despises, is his infamous 2000 NFL Draft combine photo. The former 6th-round pick in the 2000 NFL campaign, Brady has raised some questions of his own about the absence of photos of some other NFL greats. Despite his hatred for the photos, Brady’s legacy is built around his best and worst attributes, and he seems to cherish them dearly.

During a recent appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, Brady comments about his infamous photo while calling out Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning. He states, “I was a college kid, I was coming out of college, oh my God, that probably wasn’t my finest moment, but I always joke about that picture, like no one else has a picture like that, where’s Peyton Manning’s picture? He didn’t look great in those gray shorts either, so, but somehow never see a picture of that.”

While he has some blushes about his old photo, Brady admits he will never remove it and believes it was effective in another way. He believes the picture reminds and helps him realize the progress he made in his illustrious NFL career. Despite his sporadic frustrations with the photo, he seems to have made peace with it in time.
