Tom Brady is a superstar in the world of the NFL. The man has amassed a massive fortune, all thanks to his over two decade long NFL stint which is still going on smoothly.

Just how good Brady is at what he does can be understood from the fact that he has more Super Bowl rings than any single franchise. Moreover, the hunger he still has to keep winning at the highest level is astonishing.
The man follows a very strict diet and the world knows that he doesn’t love anything at all more than the great game which has given him everything he owns today.
In fact, there were reports that Gisele divorced him because he decided to un-retire just a few weeks after announcing his retirement from the sport earlier this year.
Although the reports were denied by sources close to the couple, many people still feel that this was indeed the main reason behind the split.
Nevertheless, even after the divorce, Tom has shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, he has made it very clear that he is aiming to win as many football games as possible in the future and is no way near announcing his retirement.
Tom Brady Hates The 49ers As They Didn’t Go After Him At The Draft
That’s how passionate the man is about the sport. As it turns out, this passion is the reason why he absolutely despises the franchise which he used to love when he was young.
The world knows that absolutely nobody thought Tom would turn out to be the biggest thing ever in football when he was first roped in by the New England Patriots in the year 2000.
He didn’t have any fancy contract to begin with, he wasn’t even considered as one of the most exciting young prospects in the league at that time.
This is the reason why Tom was not considered worthy of a spot in the unit by the San Francisco 49ers during the 2000 draft. This had apparently angered Brady.
Brady said he loved the Niners growing up and all thru college, and then when they skipped over him in the draft…..he hated the Niners. #GoBucs

As reported by Sara Walsh, Brady used to love the 49ers growing up and even during his college days. However, they decided not to consider him during the draft after which, the legendary QB started hating the team.
“We’d sit up there in the nose-bleed section. It was just a great time. There were so many great players, a great era of football. I loved the 49ers. I loved them in college, and then they skipped over me six times (in the draft) and I started hating the 49ers. That’s just the way it went down,” Brady claimed as per CBS.
Well, to be fair, the fortunes of the 49ers would have completely transformed if they hadn’t passed on Brady during the draft as the seemingly harmless backup option turned out to be the one who guided the Patriots to as many as 6 Super Bowl titles.
