All of them were attending the Miami GP. In the pictures and videos, Brady and Jordan looked practically of the same height. It raised a question among the fans. Who is taller Brady or Jordan?
How tall is Tom Brady?
The legendary quarterback has become the most recognizable name in the history of football. He started his career in 2000. No one expected Tom Brady to reach the heights that he has. According to some teams, Brady was not the most impressive athlete of that year’s draft class. But still, the New England Patriots decided to give his scrawny-looking kid from California a chance. Brady was skinny with little muscle. The norm for NFL quarterbacks is to be huge and muscular. But Brady was tall.
The former Patriots QB was accurate with his throws and had an impressive college record. It was enough for the Patriots to pick him in the sixth round of the 2000 draft. And we all know how the story went after that. Fast-forward 22 seasons, Tom Brady has won six Super Bowls. He owns countless records in the history of the sport. He has become the GOAT of American football.
