It’s worth noting that the Tom Brady we know today underwent a major transformation after his college years. In fact, he previously told NFL Films that right until the moment he learned he’d been drafted, he thought there was a chance he’d need to take on a more “normal” job. Not that he was particularly passionate about the alternative, though.
Reflecting on the day of the 2000 NFL draft, a visibly emotional Brady recounted to NFL Films that one of the first things to go through his mind was, “I don’t have to be an insurance salesman.” As seen on his college resume, that had been pretty well lined-up for him. He’d done sales internships at a variety of companies, no doubt helped on by the business part of his degree, as well as his good grades.
What’s more, he was good at it. Speaking to Fox News, one of his former bosses shared that he’d been very impressed by him when he interned at Merrill Lynch. “He was a quick-take guy, he was a smart guy. Everybody liked him. I thought he’d be great in finance. I could see him in a boardroom, I could see him leading the charge, just like he does on the football field,” Oliver Owens revealed. Well, Brady does have a bunch of business ventures outside of the NFL, but it’s great to know he’d always have something to fall back on!
