I'm not so sure anyone back in his Michigan days would have predicted Brady's career path of NFL success & that was probably demonstrated in being a 6th round draft pick.
Just shows what a lottery the NFL draft system can be.
I might have mentioned this before but anyone watched the QB1 series on Netflix?
Brilliant series where they follow 3 of the top rated high school QB's through their senior year. There has been 3 seasons so far and they all go to collage teams as you'd expect, the best in each series are not the best in their collage careers now. Justin Fields doesn't stand out massively in the show but is the best of them, currently QB for 1st rank Ohio State - a big career ahead of him. Then there is Jake Fromm at Georgia, currently ranked 12th QB in the league. Plays like a veteran, a distinctive cool passing game. Tate Martel was the better QB in series 1 (better than Fromm) but he has not made the grade and is now at Miami where he doesn't get much action, his first season was a red shirt at Ohio State who went on to recruit Fields (see above) prompting Martel to move on.
Both Fields and Fromm look like NFL players to me but very contrasting styles. It will be fascinating to see how they get on through a few more years of collage and then the draft.
