#2: Grew Up in a 49ers Household
Tom Brady’s family were passionate San Francisco 49ers fans, and Brady idolized Joe Montana. He attended 49ers games at Candlestick Park, witnessing Montana’s legendary plays, including The Catch in 1982.

These early experiences fueled his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. As a child, Brady played flag football and other sports but didn’t stand out athletically. Despite his deep love for the 49ers, he would later go undrafted by them, something that stuck with him throughout his career.
