Inside Tom Brady’s Private Football Collection (and how to win one) 

My wife passed away years ago I'm a big Tom Brady fan and Patriots fan My friend got in contact with the Patriots Tom sent me a letter he signed with a hat and a hoodie..I gave the hoodie away to a cancer patient but I stll have the hat..Thank you Tom you got me through a hard time..I appreciate you taking the time to do that for me..I liked and subbed.

While I was growing up in Vermont, in 5th grade my class did a project where we wrote about the life and achievements of someone who inspires us. I wrote about Tom Brady and mailed it to him, I thought he would find it weird but he sent me back a bunch of signed stuff including a picture of the roster for that year. Thank you Tom, for always going above and beyond and thinking about others ❤️

Tom Brady on RU-vid is fantastic! Even with no crew, he can self publish anytime he wants. What an age we live in.

I love the way we can connect with legends through RU-vid like Tom, Gruden, Belichick. The fans being able to see this deep into football is a whole new world of awesome.

I remember the Atlanta Super Bowl and being so devastated the first three quarters. My dad is a lifelong Brady fan and when they actually began scoring he literally looked like a child again jumping up and down hugging all of us kids. It was so awesome! He’s loving these vlogs too so great. Thanks for the content

Only 40 seconds in and wanted to come to comments to say, Thank you Tom. As a fellow Floridian, your words mean alot and thank you again for donating to help those impacted by the storms. You are my hero and forever a legend. God Bless you and the Fam.

As a foreigner, I had never watched football as a child, but I was hooked when I saw the highlight of the Patriots' win over the Seahawks in the SB. Now, I watch old games, collect memorabilia, and regularly stay up at night to watch live games. Big thanks to Tom and the Patriots for bringing this beautiful sport into my life!

Pains me to say this as a OSU fan but man you just gotta love Tom Brady. Great Player, Great Announcer, and a Great Father and role model.

Tom i only missed 1 game you played in the 20 plus years and that was due to my grandma passing i knew what i was watching will never be duplicated ever again and i cherished every moment thank you for the memories bro

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time as Galynn. Made it easier knowing my idol was going through the same thing and the epic come back made it even better. Cancer free for about 8 years now! Love ya Touchdown Tommy and Momma Brady!

My name is Brady and I’m named after you. You’ve been a huge mentor in my life and I strive to live the way you do! Watching these videos gives me a whole new view on my role model.

No way!!! Being from Australia I thought I would never be able to watch Brady live. As soon as he came out of retirement I planned a trip to America to see him play. Greatest day of my life. LFG!!!!!

It's no surprise that TB12 will have just as much success off the field as he did on it. Really enjoying the vlogs.

Tom , just wanted to say that My family have been Patriots and Tom Brady fans forever , you gave us 20 of the best years of our lives and Patriots history . My daughter and I went to see you at Gillette for your induction to the Patriots hall of fame. It was so touching I cried just sitting there feeling blessed to have witnessed everything you gave to us . My father and son have recently passed away but im so glad that we got every week to watch you and talk about everything you have given us. Thank you for giving us the best football lives we could have ever asked for. I'm so glad my father and son got to be around for all the great times, we miss you playing .. thank you for everything.. 28-3 Best moment in Superbowl History

It’s my birthday today Tom! Think of this, Out of almost all of my 23 years of life, u played football thru all of it besides 2 years… that’s an incredible feat. Thank u for pushing the mental health awareness forward and even doing your part with Florida! Keep being u man

Goat, thank you for everything that you gave to the New England Patriots. Saddest day of my life was when they let you walk, but one of the best days of my life was attending your Patriots HOF Induction ceremony with my son on 6-12-24. I think I raised him right: he's a huge Tom Brady fan

Long time Giants fan, but a lot of respect for Tom Brady as an elite football player. Very much enjoyed watching Tom play throughout his entire career. Thanks for the memories.

The game will never be the same with out Tom. Now days i look forward to listening to him in the broadcast booth on Sunday.. Thanks Tom.

I was born and raised in Denver by a Bronco family, but as a kid every-time the Broncos played the Patriots I would always root for the Patriots in my head. Growing up in Denver as a patriots fan was fun and I won’t ever forget seeing you and that 2014 patriots squad against that 2014 Denver squad up and personal at the AFC Championship game; that was the last football game I’ve ever been to and will be cherished. ( I coincidentally live in Massachusetts now )

I have been a life long fan of the patriots and Tom Brady for over 27 years now, and i love what your doing for the people in flordia and people with mental health problems keep being you man, and may god bless you and your family.❤❤❤

I'm a brit expat lived in states for 30+ years became a citizen and was a total rugby union fan, I only realized football was a chess game watching you pre & post covid, Now football has eclipsed Rugby as my favorite sport. Mainly down to watching you. And seeing how you play the game. THX so much. Only pet peeve is its not a 'world' championship :)

My grandma just passed away a day after you officially retired. I loved watching you and what you did. You have been very inspirational for me and I want you to know that you are my goat. I really hope you read. My dad has also been a fan for awhile and loves watching you.

Love how supportive and open Tom is about mental health. Takes a lot to talk about it let alone support it as one of the biggest people on the planet. Thank you Tom for opening up a window that a lot of people shut off in fear. Love you TB12!! You are the GOAT! LFGGGG!

Tom Brady once expressed a desire to be as good a father as his own father was to him. Based on various video clips showcasing his interactions with his children, it is evident that Tom Brady is a devoted and loving father. In the future, I look forward to sharing with my children not only the remarkable achievements of Tom Brady as a football player but also his role as a father figure, mentor, and inspiration to many.

Nothing short of a privileged to watch you represent New England for 20 years! I’ll always thank you for making my childhood and Sunday’s that much better goat🙏🏽

Hey there Tom! My name is Andrew Tran from the Bay Area and I’ve been a super fan of yours since I watched my first ever NFL game when you went to the Super Bowl against the Rams in 2002. Throughout my life, I’ve felt so lost and depressed. I have a stuffed animal bear named Brady that’s named after you because he always gives me hope! I feel like I can talk to him about anything and he’ll understand me. When I talk to him, I think of you and how much support you gave to me by winning those super bowls. You gave me strength so much more than you realize. I really am appreciative of you, your kindness, and your leadership. I learn a lot through your words and apply it to my work today! Thank you so much for being the biggest inspiration to me. Whenever I feel alone, I talk to Brady the Bear, but just know that you’re the inspiration to it all 😊. I hope to hear from you! Thanks for being my hero!

I'm 22 years old now. From the day I started watching football back in elementary school to my first year of college, Tom gave me something to look forward to every week, making every Sunday special for family and friends and brought New Englanders together. Thanks for being a hallmark of my childhood Tommy, Hope I win.

Tom, growin up in the late 70's,early 80's in NH cheering for the Pats with my dad...well u know the lore.On behalf of my family to all of yours sir, All of New England thanks you so very much for the 2 decades of joy!! 🐐🏉💪 #goatofgoats

Tom, I've been a huge fan of yours for years and your dedication to the game is truly inspiring. Additionally, I want to express my condolences to those affected by Hurricane Helene in Western NC, and i really admire your thoughtfulness to include that right at the beginning of the video. I'd be honored to win a signed ball, but even more so, I'd love to donate said ball to the Children's Council of Watauga County, in Western North Carolina. My hometown of Boone was hugely affected by the flooding, and my entire University was uprooted for weeks because of the damages caused by Helene. This organization provides vital support to children and families in my community, helping them overcome challenges and reach their full potential. I believe in the power of sports to bring people together and inspire positive change, and I'm passionate about supporting causes that make a real difference in the lives of others. Your generosity would make a significant impact on their mission. Thank you for giving back to the community.

Growing up in New Hampshire I have always been a Patriots fan and a Tom Brady fan! I grew up watching you play with my dad learning as much about football as I could, you have inspired me throuhgout my whole life to strive for greatness and to achieve the things I love! Thank you Tom for everything you have done and to continue to do you're my hero and you always will be!

I love the behind the scenes of Tom’s life! Hope the family and everyone is safe from the hurricanes! Keep rocking ❤

Hey Tom, I enjoyed all the work you did for the Patriots and the Bucs. I’m severely grateful that you donated so much money to the people who were affected by the hurraince. I was born and raised there, and I recently moved down here and luckily wasn’t hit by it. Thanks Tom!

I honestly love the fact that we get to see Toms collection of things he kept I still remember seeing a Tiktok of him buying football cards and I thought that was an awesome interaction

I’ll never forget Super Bowl 51 and all the emotions it brought out in me. I lived in Indianapolis at the time and my entire family were Colts fans/Tom Brady haters. Everyone was giving me a hard time throughout the first 3 quarters but I just kept telling them that it ain’t over and that the Pats will come back. The look on their faces when we won the game is something I’ll never forget. Thank you for all the memories! I’m lovin the videos!

As a life long Steelers fan, TB12 left me tortured after many, many, beatdowns. It was difficult to dislike the guy that came so prepared for every game and singlehandedly torched the Steelers defense every, single, time. Giving us a behind the scenes look at his personal life outside of football is pheneomenal. Guy is truly the greatest to ever do it.

“Things don’t correct themselves, you’ve got to go out there and work hard to correct them.” Tom I got to be honest - as an Indianapolis kid born-and-raised it was tough to say one good thing about you growing up, for obvious reasons. But now, man oh man I got to say I love your attitude towards your craft, your life and so much more. Quotes like that are why I respect you. You don't just say it - you live it. I have nothing but respect for the GOAT of football (Peyton - I hope you don't see this). Keep going, TB12 !!!

Miss you playing Tom. GOAT

Living in MA at the beginning of the Tom Brady era was crazy. He's a guy not many knew of including myself even though my Dad is a Michigan fan. I remember Tom wearing a Redsox hat during interviews and all of the us hometown guys just ate it up. He felt like he belonged, he felt like one of us. Tom Brady is like family. He's been a part of my life and just about everyone from New England since the first time he stepped on the field for the Patriots. I cant even describe the joy this man has brought me, and so many others. Memories that will last a lifetime. My wedding and my brothers wedding were planned around the Patriots bye weeks. just to make sure we didnt miss a game. When Tom Left New England a tear was in my eye. When Tom gave his Patriots HOF speech I felt so proud for him. I wish every sports fan could experienced what I experienced as a fan. The GOAT TB12 forever!

Tom you are a legend and you inspired me to start a RU-vid channel 😊 praying for Florida

I just wanted to thank you Tom for all the great things you have done for the football community and patriots nation. I recently lost my mom to cancer and we would watch every Pats game and then the Tampa Bay games as well. My mom wasn’t the biggest football fan but when we watched you it was a great distraction for her and she wasn’t thinking about her illness. You’re the GOAT.

The NFL just isn't the same without Tom on the field. Especially up here in NE... Miss ya 12.

Tom, as lifelong Steeler fan, you’ve always been my second favorite player behind Big Ben. I admire your dedication to your craft and all that you stand for. On a personal level, you’ve inspired me throughout my career in car sales. Your competitive spirit is contagious and gives energy to fight to be the best. All the best to you and your fam!

Too bad Julian won't see how wrong he was after getting stuck replaying the jacked Brady pool shot

Tom’s is a living legend and a down to earth dude. I love it how the first thing he showed was something that wasn’t about him. Then to have his kids up there as his biggest accomplishments.

BRADY YOU ARE THE GOAT!

Hey Tom just wanted to thank you for all the memories. My dad’s kidney failed when I was a little kid and he’s been in dyalsis ever since than hoping to get a transplant. We weren’t able to do much but we always looked forward to Sundays to watch you play. Some of the best memories I have with him are watching the super bowls and just wanted to thank you for that.

I love you Tom!

I was going through a tough time being a young father. I always felt like i wasn’t doing enough. The self perception of father good is always so tough. Its the only job we learn as we go. That video of Tom speaking to his father being his hero really made an impact with me. Love the man and the player. Thanks TB! I subscribed

Ayeee the goat has posted another YT video

Tommy, you’ve been my hero my whole life. I know everybody is gonna say that but you truly are. You push me to be the best person every single day. Love you Tommy! Thanks for making my life so amazing for 20+ years.

Legend

i’m a Seattle fan and didn’t think i’ll miss tom when he retired but man wathcing these while he’s retired makes me miss him more and more every day

Thank you Tom for all the great memories, the championship, and turning the whole organization around in the right direction

It's crazy that he is a peer in age, but what a different path in life we both took. We both have been to war, him on the football field and me, in Iraq and Afghanistan. What a life, we both answered our calling! I have my treasured trophies, too. They have come in different accomplishments throughout a military career and family happiness. It's great to see someone continue to strive to be greater. Keep it up, Tom! I will be pushing for greatness, too! See you at the top

Tom you brought me and my mom even closer, after my grandfather died I was blessed to still have my mom and four sister but no one to watch games with. My mom stepped up and we watched countless hours of your New England dynasty. So many memories

Hey Tom, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much of an impact you’ve had on my passion for football. It all started back in 2001 when you made your debut with the Patriots. Even though I live in Brazil, famously known as the "country of soccer", I found myself completely hooked on football, and you were the reason for that. Back then, no one around me really knew much about the sport, so I turned to RU-vid, making videos in Portuguese about the NFL. Honestly, hardly anyone watched them, but that didn’t stop me. I was determined to spread the word about this game I was falling in love with. I even went out and bought my first football and started practicing throws. I taught the rules to my friends, and slowly, I got a few of them interested. Around that time, I also started collecting NFL jerseys (no easy task in Brazil). They were incredibly hard to come by, but I managed to get my hands on a few. I still remember how, in the early 2000s, the sport was only being played on the beaches here, and without any of the protective gear. Fast forward to now, and football is one of the fastest-growing sports in Brazil. We have full-on teams, proper equipment, and even state and national championships. So here's the thing: you were the spark that ignited my passion for the NFL, and I'm probably one of the biggest collectors of jerseys and NFL memorabilia in Brazil because of you. That’s why I think it’s only fitting that you should send me that autographed ball you showed in your video. It would mean the world to me, considering you're the reason I’ve been on this NFL journey for over 20 years. Hope you’ll consider it! Thanks for everything, Felipe Louback

I love getting to see the phenomenal history and inside scoop of Tom Brady’s exciting life! Tom is a huge blessing to so many people and organizations. I have always grown up watching Tom and have always wanted to be like Tom. Great RU-vid channel, already subscribed and definitely liking every video! Keep up the good work!

Tom I became a of the NFL and football because of you first game I watched, was your your first Super bowl and I knew nothing about the game but I knew you were special. Thank you for everything you put and in the game, and all the sacrifices you endeavor too go out there and perform for the fans and ppl you who loved and supported you. - signed A Tom Brady fan

My love for football was shaped by your career. I'm born and raised in Atlanta, but the first NFL game my Bears fan father got me to sit and watch as a little kid was the Tuck Rule game. The energy of that game, the weather, the drama, the nail biting intensity, I didn't understand much of anything about the sport at that point but I was a Patriots fan for life from that day on. Yes, I was so spoiled. Yes, my football fan life for 20 years was not typical at all, but it was the most fun 20 years I could have ever had. I flew from Atlanta to watch you get inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. It felt like my way of saying, "thank you" for your greatness and the memories I'll have forever. You shaped my love for football, and sports in general, so much so I have now made a career out of it as a live sports camera operator and I was there working in Atlanta to see you win what would be your last Super Bowl for the Patriots. It was a lifetime achievement for me. I'm so thankful for what you have meant to my life as a child and into adulthood now with a career I use to support my wife and 13-month-old son. I am already saving up to fly to Canton to see you receive your gold jacket. Thank you for staying connect with your fans in retirement. I'll forever be grateful for your impact on my life.

Being from Michigan, Tom Brady was always someone I connected with from watching highlights of him at UofM! Been a diehard fan of Tom ever since. Always was impressed and motivated by his mentality to win with preparation of a champion. Keep it up on RU-vid!

Love that you are still looking out for Tampa community. Thanks for supporting them during this hard time. You da man

Awesome of you to not only bring awareness to whats happening to folks in Florida, but for also going out of your way to provide support as well. These vlogs are such an awesome way to get a glimpse of who you are!! LFG!

Hey Tom, I remember watching you play since I was a kid and you’ve always been a huge motivation to me and have taught me to be a better person and how to be a better football player of course. I miss seeing you play on Sundays and throwing those beautiful passes to those great receivers. You will always be the GOAT.

I’ve been a Patriot/Tom Fan since before i could walk (literally) … but in all my existence as a fan my parents were never able to afford to take me to a game or to get me any memorabilia… getting a football from you would be life-altering happy moment that i would truly cherish & pass down for generations. Thank you for everything you do Tom! #PrayForFL ❤

I moved down to the Atlanta area 5 years ago. What could be better than showing my (falcons) friends here an autographed Tom Brady football. Thank you for all the memories. LFG!

My Dad is a massive Bucs fan and was jumping for joy when you first signed. Thank you for giving my old mans team a ring. Love from New Zealand

Watching your career unfold got me through the toughest 2 decades of my life and I will always be thankful for the joy I felt watching you and your teams play with such dedication and intensity, and of course the wins!! Thank you Tom!!

Tom, the GOAT! Dad and I have been fans since your Michigan days. Dad passed away years ago and the photo that I keep close to me is him wearing his Patriots Brady Jersey. Forever will be our favorite QB. Go Blue!

Born and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire. Lifelong Patriots fans, and when Tom moved to Tampa, I became a bucs fan too. You're the GOAT Tom!

Tom, your passion and dedication truly inspire me every day at my regular old office job. Watching you chase greatness reminds me to give my all in everything I do. Thank you for being such a motivating force!

Hey Tom, just want to say thanks for everything, never really had the confidence to post on here but I've been a massive Brady/Pats fan since I was about 11 years old. Living in Australia there aren’t many sports figures like yourself that I am able to look up to for motivation. I still have some of your old interviews saved on my phone that I go back and watch. My favourite/most vivid memory for me was watching your game winning overtime drive from Superbowl 51 in the middle of my English class in high school, literal shivers.

That's a great collection of memories to have in your office, thanks for running through a few of them with us. "The Catch" was a big moment in my childhood, that's a special piece in your collection. Love the RU-vid series, you're a natural!

Tom Brady... My first time ever trying to reach out to you, I figure i should since I owe so much of my success to you! You have been the biggest positive influence in my life -- as a 39 year old man from MN, I never had any reason to watch Patriot football... But i saw your highlights on ESPN your first year starting, and i watched some of those regular season games, and I knew heading into that first playoffs your greatness. I actually bet big on you against all my HS buddies that first magical season... Others couldn't see what was so obvious to me! Your mind... Your WILLPOWER. Your unwavering commitment to success. It has fueled me and transformed me into an absolute powerhouse of athletic success... Accomplishing things at 39 that most can't ever do! TB12 thank you. You and MJ are the ultimate two inspirations for transcending beyond your limits

its crazy to say that while there’s a lot of amazing people in my life, tom brady has and always will be my biggest role model. i pray to someday meet you tom and thank you for the amazing core memories you’ve given me!! Unfortunately never had the opportunity to see you play live but a piece of memorabilia from you i’d cherish forever!

Hi Tom, my name is Fernando I am from San Jose California. I grew up watching the 49ers and I know you wanted to play for the 49ers one day and it was a dream of yours growing up. Watching you over the years. I always thought you would come home to play one season for the 49ers but things don’t go to plan, but wish you and your family the best stay safe with the hurricane. Thank you, Tom Brady.

My son, Andrew is a huge NFL enthusiast. He is 12 years old and has perfected the art of mudding a football - he knows the technique by heart. He would have been a great addition to your locker room as an equipment manager.

Watching all these story’s behind your career is more than just football this is pure heart warming Tom you’ve helped me through crying during the super bowl against the falcons and your life is more than football thanks for giving back and helping out everyone can count on you ❤

I am a 11 year old who absolutely loves Tom he inspired me to play football have loved him since I was 4 he is the reason I am a qb and wear number 12 BIG FAN TOM!

TOM UR THE GOAT MAN! Im 21 years old and i got to witness you play my whole life. Appreciate the greatness you brought to the game

Never a doubt you'd find your groove in the booth. Your inability to accept "the standard" as being the bar to achieve has inspired myself and millions more. Thank you for a childhood and adulthood memories. All the best to you and the kids. Keep showing the world what hard work and a great attitude can achieve. No luck, just work! Look forward to hearing you call games

Hi Tom, I met you sort of back in 03 training camp with my wife and 4 kids. You were walking the ropes and a little girl got pushed down and you held back the crowd with one arm and picked the little girl up and kept her safe. I knew right then that you were special. Good luck with future endeavors.

Loving the vlogs Tom. As a life long Patriots fan it makes me happy to see you enjoying life in retirement. You've earned it after all you've given us Patriot Fans. Keep doing great things, here to support you every step of the way

I remember the 2017 Super Bowl, my dad passed away January 16, 2017. I’m a diehard Patriots fan my father was also a diehard Patriots fan. I was living in Houston at the time and I was at the Super Bowl experience. I went to a sports bar Buffalo wild wings to watch the game. I remember at halftime all the falcon fans Clucking away. I remember saying “dad we could really use your help right now”. Second half it was like angels in the outfield. I never cheered and cried so much hey Tommy, thanks for the memories. Thanks for being a man of honour and character and always fighting for the Patriots way. Love you bro.

Overcame cancer in left femur and I was at every game of the 2017 season, was a blast watching you pick teams apart, nothing will ever match you walking to out that tunnel

This is so fun and so much history sits on those shelves. Love seeing TB's life outside the sport, and not only are you a great player but a great historian of the sport. Good luck this season as a commentator. Already killing it.

Tom just wanted to say I miss watching you play. You threw the prettiest ball. I can remember watching that Raider snow game like it was yesterday before you won your first Super Bowl. I'm 37 now. I make sure I show my kiddos who Tom Brady is and how you played the game as a team player the way it should be done. Your work ethic, how you carry yourself. You're an awesome guy, man. 👍

Tom’s the goat. I can count the number of times I’ve watched the Brady 6 documentary growing up. Such an inspiring story!

My most favorite memories are the ones spent with my father every Sunday watching you play for the Pats, when you went to the Bucs we finally got to go watch a game together in person. Thank you 12 for my favorite memories.

I dont have a crazy cool story like most comments here. I've been a lifelong brady/pats fan and continued to support Tom when he was with the Bucs. Watching Tom over the years defined my love for sports and owning something signed by Tom has always been a life long bucket list. Love you Tom!

It was so much fun watching you play for over 20 years, I'm really glad we get to keep seeing you on Sunday's up in the broadcast booth. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.

I love watching you play I remembered watching your superball in 5th grade and always wishing I can meet you one day YOUR THE REASON I STILL GO FOR THE BUCS

I remember in 2015 after the SB win against Seattle I got to attend the patriots training camp! Spending the day as a player and actually getting to throw with you Tom!! My dad surprised me and my brother with this and we came all the way from Cleveland. Huge fan Love ya Tommy!!!

I always had a great appreciation and respect for Tom and how he prioritized his family as best he could with the demands put on him by the NFL. For me that is his greatest accomplishment is the way that he made his family a priority and the length that he went to to make that happen when it was possible during the season.

Was so lucky to grow up in the NFL era where Brady was playing. My first NFL game was Brady absolutely dominating the Panthers and the stadium would go crazy on his deep shots! Truly an inspiration to always remember where you came from and when you get a chance take it!

When Mr Bledsoe got knocked out of that Jets game, I remember thinking that our season was over. I was so angry, thinking.. “great, we have this chump coming in. There goes our season..” I’ve never been more wrong in my life. Never doubted you again, ever. The GOAT, not even debatable. You gave New England fans the best years of your life!

Hey Tom, I grew up in Massachusetts during the Patriots best era! I can’t thank you enough for your play and the example you set for all of us to be better humans. I’m glad to continue to be able to enjoy your journey. To steal from Ken Griffey - keep posting.

For my 12th birthday I remember having a Tom Brady birthday cake lol. But fr you impacted my life in so many ways it’s crazy, anytime I wasn’t doing as I wanted in school I would always remember 3-28 and put my brain in a great place to do better. Me and my dad haven’t always been the closest but football really pulled us way more together. Love what your doing for Florida, and keep doing what your doing❤

Honestly, I just stumbled across this video while looking for something else on RU-vid. I didn’t know you had a channel but it’s very kind of you to let people see some of your private life.

I'm so glad I was born in a time where I got to see Tom Brady's entire career. I miss watching you play Tom but I'm enjoying the commentating. The no doubt GOAT.

Sundays just aren't the same now. Thanks for everything TB12. Patriots fan since 1981. You made us proud to be Patriots fans. Again, thank you.
