#2: He Played Every Kind of Sports Growing Up

At Junípero Serra High School, Brady played football, basketball, and baseball. He was an outstanding left-handed hitting catcher in baseball and was even drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft.

Scouts believed he had the potential to be a Major League Baseball star, but Brady had his heart set on football. However, he didn’t start as his high school’s varsity quarterback until his junior year. By his senior season, he had developed into a solid player and sent recruitment tapes to colleges, eventually earning a scholarship to the University of Michigan.
