Tom Brady's birthday is not yet an NFL holiday -- wait ten years for "Tom Brady Training Camp Day" where fans can pet goats and eat cake -- but it's as close as it gets.
Despite his age, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., a California native born Aug. 3, 1977, continues to break NFL records. Every snap Brady takes, Father Time mocks his perfect record.
In Week 1, Brady will become the only player in NFL history to have a passing yard over 45 when he completes his first pass.
Brady would also become the first player in NFL history with a rush yard or reception at age 45 or older with one rush yard or reception.
NFL Research put together some notes in honor of TB12's birthday. While we eat some sugar-free avocado cake, let's dig into these:
1. American culture the year Brady was born in 1977:
The top movie at the box office was Star Wars ($307,263,857 total gross).
2. 104 active players were born after April 16, 2000, the day Brady was drafted by New England. There isn't a breath of life in the NFL without TB12.
3. Brady was drafted six days after the Buccaneers' top 2022 draft pick, DT Logan Hall. Brady was drafted after the first 12 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.
4. There are 13 current head coaches younger than Brady out of 32. When Brady was a Patriot, two current head coaches (Kevin O'Connell in 2008 and Kliff Kingsbury in 2003) were Patriots quarterbacks.
