Tom Brady is one of the most influential sports figures the NFL has ever had. His seven Super Bowl championships, part ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders, and his career as a commentator speaks for itself.

When Shedeur Sanders was snubbed as a first-round NFL draft pick and had to wait until Day 3 to be selected, Tom Brady encouraged him to use it as motivation:
“I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well,” Brady said in a appearance on the “IMPAULSIVE” podcast, hosted by Logan Paul. “And I said, ‘Dude, like whatever happens, wherever you go, that’s your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft.’ I was 199. So, who can speak on it better than me? Like what that really means. Use it as motivation, you’re going to get your chances, go take advantage of it.”
Brady, who has been a mentor to Sanders, was the seventh quarterback selected in the 2000 draft. The New England Patriots selected him in the sixth round, and the future Hall of Famer went on to win seven Super Bowls and be named the NFL’s MVP three times.
“Wherever you end up going … it’s about your performance. What do you do when you get there? Because you’re going to get there,” Brady said on the podcast. “I was around some of the best players who were undrafted free agents. They were Rodney Harrison. Rodney Harrison wasn’t a high pick. Julian Edelman wasn’t a high pick. Wes Welker wasn’t a high pick. Danny Amendola. All those guys were phenomenal players.
