Jordan also carried a continent-sized burden throughout his basketball career. It’s no secret that Jordan didn’t make the high school basketball team during his freshman season only to develop into one of the top prep stars in the game. That was evident early in Jordan’s tenure at North Carolina and has only continued to improve throughout his career.

Brady’s intensity is different. Not many people knew about Brady during his Michigan career. College football fans know Brady, of course, but his college career ended unceremoniously and no one thought highly of the Wolverines signal-caller entering the NFL draft.
Brady fell until the sixth round of the NFL draft, when the Patriots selected the signal-caller.
Being an underdog in the entire NFL draft became one of the future Hall of Famer’s main motivations, and the slight feeling Brady got from all 31 NFL teams made him eager to prove them wrong, which he did. arrive. Brady famously ran out of the Patriots tunnel in Foxboro, yelling “Let’s go” as his pregame ritual. Brady considers this his rallying cry.
Brady pointed out that today’s NFL game, and more importantly, today’s players are too friendly and draw clear lines between themselves, teammates and opponents. When people say “they don’t do it like they used to,” they’re referring to Brady.
