There is no one like or going to be like Tom Brady in the future. The legend who broke records after records in the NFL is one in a billion indeed. Not only has he been a ray of hope for many of his fans for decades, but also for other athletes like him.

Just like any aspect of life, sports is also a sphere where luck has an enormous influence on the trajectory of a career. While he might be a superstar now, even Brady was struck with unluckiness from time to time. After seeing others get drafted first, he used Brady’s documentary to deal with the frustration of being the last one to get drafted to SmackDown.

New SmackDown superstar compares himself to Tom Brady

In an interview with Fox News, his new home, Grayson Waller talked about being the last one that SmackDown picked at the draft. He talked about seeing all of his friends, JD McDonagh, Zoey Stark, and Indi Hartwell get drafted, one by one, and just waiting for his chance.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t picked on SmackDown or Raw. Then at last, on the Raw Talk show, the hosts revealed that Waller would be joining SmackDown to conclude the draft. But this only fueled his frustrations even more.

About the entire thing, Waller said, “I’m not gonna lie. It was tough… So I was frustrated. I really thought that I was gonna sit there for two nights and not get picked. I thought about Tom Brady, and I thought about that. If you watch the documentary, The Brady Six about the six quarterbacks that got picked before Tom.”

Grayson Waller’s journey in NXT till now

Waller started out strong in his NXT run as he competed in a WarGames match. Then he got a lot of storylines with the likes of fan-favorites, like LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes. But that isn’t all. He also had a brutal rivalry with NXT’s heartbeat, Johnny Gargano. During his last few days, Waller even challenged the head of NXT Creative, Shawn Michaels.

While he wasn’t able to win any championships, despite challenging all of them, he didn’t fail to entertain the audience. For months on end, he was the bad guy everyone loved to boo. He fit so perfectly in the role that we hope he would do the same in SmackDown. We can’t wait to see Waller punch his ticket to bigger things in the blue brand.
