Tom Brady had just stepped onto the campus of Junipero Serra High School in California when he went out for quarterback on the freshman football team. He wasn't any good. This isn't hyperbole or a downplaying of reality for literary effect. He literally sat on the bench, never cracking the lineup, for an 0-8-1 team that managed just two offensive touchdowns the entire season.

Brady wanted to become the starter, though, and this was the best route to that. He also, however, told friends at the time he wanted to win and that oh-fer freshman season didn’t cut it. So he didn’t just repeat the five-dot drill over and over on the practice field, he set it up on the patio behind his family’s home, driving his siblings crazy as he ran through it all hours of the day.
, this time"for good" he said on a brief but emotional social media video. He did the same for a stretch last year, but this one seems far more personal, far more real. Brady wasn’t his best last year, but he was hardly a liability, finishing third in the league passing yards. Considering the age and the fact he went through a midseason divorce that saw two of his children move to Miami with their mother, it’s astounding. Yet it almost became the expectation for him. Everything about him was astounding.
No one was more dangerous late in the game, when defenses had shown their formations and begun to tire. Comebacks were his thing. Game winning drives. Heart wrenching finishes. From beating the Rams in his first Super Bowl to roaring back from 28-3 against Atlanta to win his fifth.
