Along with defensive player Charles Haley, he is one of only two players in NFL history to have won five Super Bowls, and the only one to have won them for a single team. Because of his numerous accomplishments and accolades, many analysts and sportswriters consider Brady to be among the greatest quarterbacks of all time. After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Due to his late draft selection, Brady is considered to be the biggest `` steal '' in the history of the NFL Draft. In Brady 's sixteen seasons as a starter, he has quarterbacked the Patriots to eight Super Bowl appearances, the most for any player in history. Brady is also one of only two quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl in their first season as a starter, the other being Kurt Warner. Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards ( Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX, and LI ), the most ever by a single player, has won three league MVP awards ( 2007, 2010, 2017 ), has been selected to 13 Pro Bowls, and has led his team to more division titles ( 15 ) than any other quarterback in NFL history. As of the of the 2018 regular season, Brady is fourth all - time in total career passing yards, third in career touchdown passes, and third in career passer rating. His career postseason record is 27 -- 10, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and he has appeared in more playoff games than any player at any position. Brady has never had a losing season as a starting quarterback in the NFL. His combined regular - season and postseason wins are also the most of any quarterback in NFL history. Brady is the first and only quarterback to reach 200 regular season wins. Brady also holds the record of being the oldest player to win the Super Bowl MVP at 39 years of age, and the oldest player to win the regular season MVP at the age of 40. For his alleged involvement in the highly publicized Deflategate football tampering scandal, Brady was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 NFL season. Subsequently, Brady went on to play in the next two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl LI and losing Super Bowl LII.

He was raised Catholic. His father is of Irish descent, while his mother has German, Norwegian, Polish and Swedish ancestry. A set of Brady 's great - great - grandparents on his father 's side, John and Bridget Brady, were Irish refugees from the Great Famine who moved to San Francisco from Boston prior to the American Civil War. They were accompanied by Bridget 's sister Ann and her husband Lawrence Meegan, the parents of the 19th Century American Major League Baseball player `` Steady '' Pete Meegan. Brady 's great uncle, Michael Buckley Jr. was, also, the first American prisoner of war during World War II. In the 1980s, Brady regularly attended San Francisco 49ers games at Candlestick Park, where he was a fan of quarterback Joe Montana ; since then, Brady has mentioned Montana as his idol and one of his inspirations. At the age of four, Brady attended the 1981 NFC Championship against the Dallas Cowboys, in which Montana threw The Catch to Dwight Clark. As a child, Brady attended football camp at the College of San Mateo where he learned to throw the football from camp counselor and future NFL / AFL quarterback Tony Graziani. He grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics fan. Brady attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, where he graduated in 1995 ; the ceremony was held at St. Mary 's Cathedral. He played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. He played against Bellarmine College Preparatory rival Pat Burrell in both football and baseball. Brady 's football career started as the backup quarterback on the Padres junior varsity team. At first, Brady was not good enough to start on the 0 -- 8 JV team that had not scored a touchdown all year. However, when the starting quarterback went down with an injury, he ascended to the starting position. He became the varsity starter his junior year and held the position until he graduated. By Brady 's senior year, he struggled getting on the radar of college coaches. He created highlight tapes and sent them out to schools he would consider attending. This led to strong interest from many football programs around the nation. The process of recruiting was much different during Brady 's time, and athletes ' rankings were not as prominent. In terms of recruiting in the 2000s, Brady would have been considered a four - star recruit. In essence, he was a highly rated prospect. Brady was also on Blue Chip Illustrated as well as a Prep Football Report All - American selection. Following his recruiting process he narrowed down his list to five main schools. `` Probably the ones that we did hear from and ultimately pared the list to were Cal - Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Michigan, and Illinois, '' his father said. As a Cal fan, his father hoped that Brady would attend the nearby Cal, where Brady was a silent commit, and be able to watch his son play. Brady was also known as a great baseball player in high school. He was a left - handed - hitting catcher with power. His skill set impressed MLB scouts, and he was drafted in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos. The Expos projected Brady as a potential All - Star, and offered him money typical of a late second - round or early third - round pick. Nevertheless, Brady was determined to play football at the next level. He was always more passionate about football, and when he found that there was significant interest in him, he decided to take the road of football. Brady was recruited by Michigan assistant Bill Harris, and he signed to play for the University of Michigan in 1995. He finished his high school football career completing 236 of 447 passes for 3,702 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also won All - State and All - Far West honors as well as the team 's Most Valuable Player Award. During the summers of 1998 and 1999, Brady was an intern at Merrill Lynch. He was inducted into the Junipero Serra High School Hall of Fame in 2003, joining fellow Serra High graduates Barry Bonds, Lynn Swann, Gregg Jefferies, Jim Fregosi, and his older sister Maureen, among many others. When Brady revisited two weeks after Super Bowl XLVI in 2012, school administrators announced that they had named the football stadium Brady Family Stadium. College career Brady at Michigan Stadium in 2016 Brady played college football for the University of Michigan from 1995 to 1999. He was a backup quarterback for his first two years, while teammate and future NFL quarterback Brian Griese led the 1997 Wolverines to an undefeated season, which was capped by a victory in the Rose Bowl and a share of the national championship. When he enrolled at Michigan, Brady was seventh on the depth chart, and he had an intense struggle to get some playing time. At one point, Brady hired a sports psychologist to help him cope with frustration and anxiety, and even considered transferring to California. He worked closely with assistant athletic director Greg Harden, who met with Brady every week to build his confidence and to maximize his performance on the field. Brady told 60 Minutes in 2014 : `` He will always be somebody I rely on for sound advice and mentorship. He has helped me with my own personal struggles in both athletics and in life. Greg really pushed me in a direction that I was n't sure I could go. '' Under Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, Brady battled for the starting job with Drew Henson and ultimately started every game in the 1998 and 1999 seasons. During his first full year as starter, he set new Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions in a season, for a total of 214. Brady was All - Big Ten honorable mention both seasons, and was the team captain in his senior year. The Wolverines won 20 of 25 games when he started, and he set a school record for completions in a 31 -- 16 loss against Ohio State in 1998, a season in which Michigan shared the Big Ten Conference title. Brady capped that season with a 45 -- 31 win over Arkansas in the Citrus Bowl. In the 1999 season, Brady had to once again hold off Henson for the starting job. The two players platooned during the season 's first seven games, with Brady playing the first quarter, Henson the second and Carr then deciding upon a quarterback for the second half. The 1999 Michigan Wolverines started off with a 5 -- 0 record, including a 26 -- 22 win over Notre Dame, and a road win against eventual powerhouse Wisconsin. Against Michigan State, Brady was not chosen to play the second half ; however, he was reinserted into the game with Michigan down by 17 points, and he nearly led Michigan all the way back before losing 34 -- 31. After a 300 - yard passing game the following week, Carr went exclusively with Brady for the remainder of the season. Brady went on to lead Michigan to multiple 4th - quarter comebacks, including a remarkable 31 -- 27 win against Penn State, and leading them out of a close game against Indiana, 34 -- 31, heading into the regular season 's final game, winners of three straight, earning him the moniker of `` Comeback Kid ''. Michigan concluded the regular season against Ohio State ; this was a dramatic game with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line. With five minutes left, tied 17 -- 17, Brady led Michigan to the winning score. He led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama, throwing for 369 yards, four touchdowns, leading the team back from a pair of 14 - point deficits in regulation ( 14 -- 0 in the first half, and 28 -- 14 in the second ). He threw the game - winning score on a bootleg to tight end Shawn Thompson. Michigan won the game when Alabama missed an extra point following its own touchdown. In the two seasons that Brady started at Michigan, he posted a 20 -- 5 record, including his two largest victories at the Citrus Bowl ( 1999 ) and the Orange Bowl ( 2000 ). Brady finished his career ranking third in Michigan history with 710 attempts and 442 completions, fourth with 5,351 yards and 62.3 completion percentage, and fifth with 35 touchdown passes.

Brady 's tenure with the Patriots, is an NFL record for the longest time playing quarterback for one franchise. Since Brady became their starting quarterback in 2001, the Patriots have never had a losing season and have won 15 division titles. The Patriots played in twelve AFC Championship Games from 2001 to 2017 -- including seven in a row from 2011 to 2017 -- and won eight of them. Brady and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick have combined to form the most successful quarterback - head coach tandem in NFL history, winning more regular season games and postseason games than any other such duo as well as appearing in eight Super Bowls. All of these events set new NFL records. In his second season, Brady took over as the starting quarterback after Drew Bledsoe was injured. He led the Patriots to first place in the AFC East and a victory over the favored St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, winning his first Super Bowl MVP award. Despite the Patriots ' missing the playoffs the following season, Brady would then lead them to back - to - back World Championships in 2003 and 2004, winning Super Bowl MVP honors again in 2003. Along the way, the Patriots won an NFL - record 21 consecutive games ( including the playoffs ) between the 2003 and 2004 seasons. The 2005 season was Brady 's first to throw for 4,000 yards and lead the NFL in passing. That postseason, Brady would win his 10th consecutive playoff game, another NFL postseason record. Although Brady and the Patriots continued to win often, they did not return to the Super Bowl until the 2007 season. That year, Brady not only set an NFL record with 50 touchdown passes but he would also lead the Patriots to a 16 -- 0 finish, the first perfect regular - season record since the Miami Dolphins finished 14 - 0 in 1972. Brady would win his first career NFL MVP Award, winning 49 out of 50 votes. The Associated Press also named him Male Athlete of the Year, the first such award given to an NFL player since Joe Montana won it in 1989 and 1990. However, the Patriots suffered their first Super Bowl loss with Brady as quarterback, dropping a 17 - 14 decision to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. Brady missed virtually the entire following season due to a knee injury in the season opener. But he would come back strong in the 2009 season to be named the league 's Comeback Player of the Year. In 2010, Brady set the NFL record for consecutive passes without an interception ( 358 ) and broke his own record for the highest season touchdown to interception ratio ( among players who have started a full season ) at 9 : 1, currently the third best TD : INT ratio for a single season by a quarterback. Brady would win his second league MVP award with all 50 votes in his favor. He was the first unanimous NFL MVP since Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor won the award in 1986. He and Joe Montana are the only players in NFL history to win multiple NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards. Brady was also named the top player by his peers in the first NFL Top 100 list, released in 2011. In the 2011 season, Brady led the Patriots to their first AFC Championship since 2007 and appeared in the Super Bowl for a fifth time ; but the Patriots would lose again to the Giants. Following AFC Championship Game losses in the following seasons ( 2012 and 2013 ), Brady and the Patriots made their sixth trip to the Super Bowl after the 2014 season ( Brady 's 15th as a professional ). There, he led the Patriots to a fourth - quarter comeback over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks. He would lift his fourth Super Bowl trophy ( the Patriots ' first in ten seasons ) and was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time. Despite missing the first four games of the 2016 season, Brady would lead the Patriots ( 3 - 1 before he rejoined them ) to win 11 out of the 12 remaining regular season games and two postseason games to make his seventh Super Bowl appearance. Brady and the Patriots would overcome a 25 - point deficit against the Atlanta Falcons ( down 28 - 3 in the third quarter ) to force the first overtime in Super Bowl history, winning 34 - 28 to give Brady his fifth Super Bowl title. He earned his fourth Super Bowl MVP award after setting title - game records for appearances, pass attempts, completions, passing yards and fourth - quarter comebacks. In his eighth appearance, capping the 2017 season, Brady threw for 505 yards at 40 years old, setting a record for most passing yards in a Super Bowl, but the Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, denying Brady his sixth Super Bowl ring. Notably, Brady has shaken the hand of the losing quarterback after all five of his wins but has beaten a hasty retreat to the locker room to avoid shaking the hand of his opponent in all three of his losses. Over his career, Brady has won three league MVP awards, five Super Bowls, and four Super Bowl MVP Awards. A 13 - time Pro Bowler, Brady has also twice led the NFL in passing yardage. As of November 2017, he currently owns the third - highest career passer rating ( 97.9 ) among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 career passing attempts. He has thrown for more passing yards and touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL postseason history ; he also has won more playoff games than any other quarterback. As a result of his highly successful career, Brady is rated among the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Brady 's name has become associated with two NFL rules, which sports reporters have called the `` Brady rule ''. One is the tuck rule that was in effect from 1999 through 2013. The other is a rule about low hits enacted in 2009 : `` A defender can not initiate a roll or lunge and forcibly hit the passer in the knee area or below, even if he is being contacted by another player. '' 2000 season Brady was selected with pick # 199, a compensatory pick, in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He and his family had believed that Brady would be drafted in the second or third round ; they watched the draft on television, stunned as six other quarterbacks were drafted before him. Brady was so embarrassed that he briefly left the family home during the sixth round, and cried when recalling the experience for an interview 11 years later. When the Patriots notified him that he would be drafted Brady was grateful that, he later said, he would not `` have to be an insurance salesman ''. According to Michael Holley 's book Patriot Reign, the Patriots were considering Brady and Tim Rattay, both of whom had received positive reviews from then - quarterbacks coach Dick Rehbein. Ultimately, the Patriots front office chose Brady. Considering his subsequent success, many analysts have called Brady the best NFL draft pick of all time. Brady started the season as the fourth string quarterback, behind starter Drew Bledsoe and backups John Friesz and Michael Bishop ; by season 's end, he was number two on the depth chart behind Bledsoe. During his rookie season, he was 1 - of - 3 passing, for six yards. Tight end Rod Rutledge caught Brady 's first and only completed pass of the season in a 34 -- 9 loss to the Detroit Lions on November 23. 2001 season With Bledsoe as the starting quarterback, the Patriots opened the season with a 23 -- 17 loss at Cincinnati. In their second game and home opener on September 23, the Patriots squared off against their AFC East rivals, the New York Jets. Bledsoe was again the starter ; in the fourth quarter, he suffered internal bleeding after a hit from Jets linebacker Mo Lewis. Bledsoe returned for the next series, but was replaced with Brady for the Patriots ' final series of the game. New York would hold on to win, 10 -- 3, and the Patriots fell to 0 -- 2 on the season. Brady was named the starter for the season 's third game, against the Indianapolis Colts. In his first two games as starter, Brady posted unspectacular passer ratings of 79.6 and 58.7, respectively, in a 44 -- 13 victory over the Colts ( in their last season in the AFC East ) and a 30 -- 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. In the Patriots ' fifth game, Brady began to find his stride. Trailing the visiting San Diego Chargers 26 -- 16 in the fourth quarter, he led the Patriots on two scoring drives to force overtime, and another in overtime to set up a winning field goal. Brady finished the game with 33 pass completions on 54 attempts, for 364 yards, and two touchdowns and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career. The following week, Brady again played well during the rematch at Indianapolis, with a passer rating of 148.3 in a 38 -- 17 win. The Patriots went on to win eleven of the fourteen games Brady started, and six straight to finish the regular season, winning the AFC East and entering the 2001 -- 02 NFL playoffs with a first - round bye. In that stretch was a Week 11 34 -- 17 victory over the New Orleans Saints where he was 19 of 26 for 258 passing yards and four touchdowns to earn his second AFC Offensive Player of the Week nod in 2001. Brady finished the 2001 season with 2,843 passing yards and 18 touchdowns and earned an invitation to the 2002 Pro Bowl. 2001 postseason In Brady 's first playoff game, he threw for 312 yards against the Oakland Raiders and led the Patriots back from a ten - point fourth - quarter deficit to send the game to overtime, where they won on an Adam Vinatieri field goal. A controversial play occurred in that game. Trailing by three points in the fourth quarter, Brady lost control of the ball after being hit by Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson. Oakland initially recovered the ball, but, citing the `` tuck rule, '' which states that any forward throwing motion by a quarterback begins a pass even if the quarterback loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body, referee Walt Coleman overturned the call on instant replay, ruling it an incomplete pass rather than a fumble. In the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brady injured his knee, and was relieved by Bledsoe. The Patriots won the game by a score of 24 -- 17 and were immediately instituted by Las Vegas oddsmakers as 14 - point underdogs against the NFC champion St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. Brady returned from his knee injury in the AFC Championship Game to start in Super Bowl XXXVI a week later in New Orleans. Despite being heavy underdogs, the Patriots played well, holding the Rams ' high powered offense in check through the first three quarters. The Rams rallied from a 17 -- 3 deficit to tie the game with 1 : 30 left in regulation. The Patriots then got the ball back at their own 17 - yard line with no timeouts remaining. Sportscaster and former Super Bowl - winning coach John Madden said he thought the Patriots should run out the clock and try to win the game in overtime. Instead, Brady drove the Patriots ' offense down the field to the Rams ' 31 - yard line before spiking the ball with seven seconds left. Then kicker Adam Vinatieri converted a 48 - yard field goal as time expired to give the Patriots a 20 -- 17 win and their first ever league championship. Brady was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI while throwing for 145 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. At the age of 24 years and six months, Brady surpassed Joe Namath in Super Bowl III and Joe Montana in Super Bowl XVI, who were both 25 years, seven months, and 13 days old at the time of their victories, to earn the title of youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. A possible quarterback controversy was averted when Bledsoe was traded to the Buffalo Bills during the offseason ; this event cemented Brady 's status as the starting quarterback. 2002 season In the 2002 season opener, Brady had 294 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 30 -- 14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn his third AFC Offensive of the Week title. In Week 9, in a 38 -- 7 victory over the Buffalo Bills, he had 265 passing yards and three touchdowns to earn another AFC Offensive Player of the Week nod. Brady and the Patriots finished the year at 9 -- 7, tied with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins for the best record in the division ; however, the Jets won the division on the third tiebreaker, and the Patriots missed the playoffs. Though Brady posted a career - low single - season passer rating of 85.7 and a career - high of 14 interceptions, he threw for a league - leading 28 touchdown passes and 921 more yards than in the 2001 season. However, Brady played much of the second half of the season with a shoulder injury, and New England head coach Bill Belichick later indicated that Brady would not have been able to play in their first playoff game if the Patriots had made the playoffs. 2003 season After opening the 2003 NFL season with a 2 -- 2 start, Brady led the Patriots to twelve consecutive victories to finish the regular season in winning the AFC East. In Week 9, against the Denver Broncos, he had 350 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the 30 -- 26 victory to earn his fifth AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor. Statistically, Brady 's strongest game of the season was in Week 17 against the division rival Buffalo Bills, when he achieved a season - high quarterback rating of 122.9, and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Brady finished with 3,620 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, and was third in NFL MVP voting to co-winners Peyton Manning and Steve McNair. 2003 postseason In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. On February 1, 2004, Brady led the Patriots to a 32 -- 29 victory over the NFC champion Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII and was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time. During the game, Brady threw for 354 yards with three touchdowns and set the record for most completions by a quarterback in a Super Bowl with 32. With 1 : 08 left in the fourth quarter and the score tied 29 -- 29, Brady engineered a drive to put the Patriots in position for the game - winning 41 - yard field goal by Vinatieri. 2004 season Brady during Super Bowl XXXIX During the 2004 season, Brady helped the Patriots set an NFL record with 21 straight wins dating from the previous year, an accomplishment honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame ( though for official records, the NFL considers it an 18 - game regular season winning streak ; it does not count playoff games ). New England finished with a 14 -- 2 record, equaling their 2003 record and the best regular - season record ever for a defending champion. The Patriots also won the AFC East divisional title for the third time in four years. Brady threw for 3,692 yards and 28 touchdowns, with a 92.6 passer rating, and was voted to his second Pro Bowl. 2004 postseason In the AFC playoffs, Brady led the Patriots to victories over the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brady played his best game of the year in Pittsburgh despite requiring intravenous treatment the previous night when he ran a temperature of 103 °. Against the NFL 's best defense, he recorded a quarterback passer rating of 130.5, his highest of the season. On February 6, 2005, the Patriots narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 24 -- 21, to win Super Bowl XXXIX. Brady threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns while capturing the Patriots ' third championship in four years. 2005 season During the 2005 season, injuries suffered by running backs Corey Dillon, Patrick Pass, and Kevin Faulk forced the Patriots to rely more on Brady 's passing. Brady also had to adjust to new center Russ Hochstein and running back Heath Evans. On October 9, in a 31 -- 28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, he had 350 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Brady finished first in the league with 4,110 passing yards and third in the league with 26 touchdowns.

The team later confirmed that Brady would require surgery, and it would prematurely end his 2008 season. Brady tore both his anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament. The injury ended Brady 's streak of 111 consecutive starts ( seventh in the list of most consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback, behind Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Ron Jaworski, and Joe Flacco ). Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Los Angeles Kerlan - Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic October 6, using Brady 's patellar tendon graft to replace the torn ligament, and also repaired his medial collateral ligament, through a separate incision in his left knee. An infection in the wound resulted in further debridement surgery several times since the original procedure. Brady received IV antibiotics for this infection which, at the time, threatened to delay his rehab. Despite Brady 's absence, the Patriots managed to finish the 2008 season with an 11 -- 5 record ; however, due to tiebreakers, the Patriots not only failed to win the AFC East division title, but missed the playoffs altogether for the first time since the 2002 season. 2009 season Brady in Landover, Maryland, on August 28, 2009, during warmups in a preseason game against the Washington Redskins.

He 's the best. He does so much for us in so many ways on so many different levels. I 'm very fortunate that he 's our quarterback and what he 's able to do for this team.

If that 's more than somebody else did, I do n't really care about that. -- Bill Belichick In the Patriots ' 45 -- 10 rout of the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round, Brady set a personal postseason best with 363 passing yards, and tied an NFL playoff record shared by Daryle Lamonica and Steve Young, throwing for six touchdown passes.

The report concluded that, more likely than not, Brady was at least generally aware of the intentional deflation. On May 11, Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL for his involvement based on `` substantial and credible evidence '' that Brady knew Patriots employees were deflating footballs and that he failed to cooperate with the investigators. On May 11, Troy Vincent -- NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations -- penned a letter to Brady that stated in part : `` Your actions as set forth in the report clearly constitute conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the game of professional football. '' Vincent 's letter further stated : `` With respect to your particular involvement, the report established that there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were at least generally aware of the actions of the Patriots ' employees involved in the deflation of the footballs and that it was unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge. Moreover, the report documents your failure to cooperate fully and candidly with the investigation, including by refusing to produce any relevant electronic evidence ( emails, texts, etc. ), despite being offered extraordinary safeguards by the investigators to protect unrelated personal information, and by providing testimony that the report concludes was not plausible and contradicted by other evidence. '' Brady, through the NFL Players Association, officially appealed the suspension on May 14. On July 28, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the upholding of Brady 's four - game suspension. Brady gave permission to the NFLPA to appeal the suspension in federal court. Goodell cited Brady 's destruction of his cell phone as a critical factor in his decision to uphold Brady 's suspension. The NFL also filed papers in federal court seeking to confirm Roger Goodell 's decision. On July 29 Brady released a statement on his Facebook page that criticized Goodell 's decision to uphold the suspension, saying in part `` I am very disappointed by the NFL 's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me. I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either... I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight. '' Brady in 2015 Commentary on the initial punishment was mixed. Bleacher Report writer Mike Freeman made a statement agreeing with Goodell 's decision, saying the penalties were `` brutal, but it deserved to be. '' Various commentators also implied that the prior reputation of the Patriots organization as a team that bends rules appeared to factor into the harshness of the punishment. Others described the punishment as `` firm but fair ''. On September 3, 2015, Judge Richard M. Berman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated Brady 's suspension ; this ruling allowed Brady to play in the first four games of the 2015 NFL season. In his decision, Judge Berman cited the NFL 's failure to provide proper notice to Brady of the charges against him and the potential for a suspension. Post-appeal commentary also criticized Goodell for `` manipulating Brady 's testimony '' at the appeal hearing in his decision. 2015 regular season In the NFL Kickoff Game, Brady led the Patriots to a 28 -- 21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns, three of them to Rob Gronkowski.

In Week 2, Brady followed up his Week 1 performance by throwing for 466 yards and three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. Through the first five games of the season, Brady threw a total of 14 touchdowns with one interception and had a quarterback rating of 118.4. In Week 8, a 36 -- 7 victory over the Miami Dolphins, he had 356 passing yards and four touchdowns to earn his 25th AFC Offensive Player of the Week title. Despite Brady 's success, the Patriots were hit by many injuries to key players on offense, including wide receiver Julian Edelman, and the Patriots eventually lost their first game against the Broncos, who were without Peyton Manning, in Denver on the Sunday after Thanksgiving following a 10 -- 0 start. The Patriots then lost three of their remaining five games to finish 12 -- 4 for a fourth straight season, tied with the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos for the AFC 's best record. Denver clinched the No. 1 seed due to their victories over both the Patriots and the Bengals, while the Patriots finished with the AFC 's No. 2 seed due to having a better record against common opponents than Cincinnati. Brady finished the regular season with a league - leading 36 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. He was named to his 11th Pro Bowl ( seventh straight ), and was ranked as the second best player on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016 behind only league MVP Cam Newton. 2015 postseason With the return of Julian Edelman from a foot injury, the Patriots defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round by a score of 27 -- 20 after advancing with a first round bye. The Patriots advanced to the AFC Championship at Mile High Stadium to face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. It would turn out to be the 17th and final meeting between the two storied quarterbacks, as Manning would announce his retirement after the season ended. The Broncos ' top - ranked defense harassed Brady, who completed 27 - of - 56 passes with two interceptions and a touchdown, all day, and the Patriots eventually lost the game 20 -- 18 after a potential game - tying two - point conversion attempt failed with 17 seconds left in regulation. 2016 season 2016 offseason On February 29, 2016, Brady signed a two - year contract extension covering the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Three days later, the NFL appealed Judge Richard M. Berman 's 2015 decision to vacate Brady 's four - game suspension as punishment for his alleged role in the Deflategate scandal. At the March 3, 2016, hearing in New York City, the three - judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit questioned Players Association lawyer Jeffrey L. Kessler more intensely than NFL lawyer Paul Clement, with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even stating that `` the evidence of ball tampering is compelling, if not overwhelming. '' On April 25, 2016, Judge Richard M. Berman 's decision to block Brady 's four - game suspension was overturned by the U.S. Appeals Court. Circuit Judge Barrington Daniels Parker Jr., joined by Circuit Judge Chin, wrote that they could not `` second - guess '' the arbitration but were merely determining it `` met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 ''. Circuit Chief Judge Robert Katzmann dissented, writing that the NFL 's fines for using stickum was `` highly analogous '' and that here `` the Commissioner was doling out his own brand of industrial justice. '' On May 23, 2016, Brady appealed for his case to be reheard by the full U.S. 2nd Circuit Court. The 2nd Circuit Court denied Brady 's request for an en banc hearing on July 13. Two days later, on Friday, July 15, 2016, Brady announced on his Facebook page that he would give up his Deflategate fight and accept his suspension for the first four regular season games of the 2016 season.

Together, they have two children : a son named Benjamin Rein was born December 8, 2009, and a daughter named Vivian Lake was born December 5, 2012. Brady has been featured as a guest star on some popular television programs, hosting Saturday Night Live in 2005 and voicing himself on The Simpsons in 2005 ( `` Homer and Ned 's Hail Mary Pass '' ) and Family Guy in 2006 ( `` Patriot Games '' ) ; both football - themed episodes were broadcast within a week of that year 's Super Bowl. In 2009, he appeared as himself in a sixth season episode of Entourage. In 2015, he had cameo appearances as fictionalized versions of himself in the Entourage movie and Ted 2.

Brady has endorsed brands including Uggs, Under Armour, Movado, Aston Martin and Glaceau Smartwater. According to Forbes, he earned about $7 million from endorsements alone in 2014. In 2016, he began appearing in a Beautyrest Black commercial campaign for Simmons Bedding Company. In 2016, he launched his own line of vegan snacks. Brady and his family live in Brookline and New York City. Politics Brady attended the 2004 State of the Union Address as a special guest of then - President George W. Bush. In 2004, he told ESPN The Magazine that being a U.S. Senator would be his `` craziest ambition ''. Brady is a friend of President Donald Trump ; in 2017, Brady indicated he had known Trump `` for 16 years ''. At a political event in New Hampshire on the day before the 2016 presidential election, Trump said he had received a call from Brady, and that Brady told him `` Donald, I support you, you 're my friend, and I voted for you. '' However, after Gisele Bündchen was asked directly on Instagram whether she and Brady backed Trump, Bündchen answered `` NO ! ''. After a Trump campaign `` Make America Great Again '' cap was photographed in Brady 's locker, Brady said that Bündchen told him not to discuss politics anymore, which he thought was a `` good decision ''. Brady did not join most of his teammates from the New England Patriots in visiting Trump and the White House in April 2017, citing `` personal family matters ''. While there has been speculation that Brady would run for political office in the future, in a 2015 interview he stated he had no interest in doing so.
