Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback to ever play in the NFL with his talent and incredible longevity. He's proven in his 20 years at the NFL that he deserves all of the praise he's getting from fans and fellow professionals alike.

In fact, he's so good that a former GM in Ron Wold openly admitted his regret at not drafting the former Michigan Wolverine.

He was the Green Bay Packers GM in 2000, the year Brady entered the NFL. He didn't see talent in him to not use any of his draft picks on him. However, he now rues his decision.

“Sh–, yeah, I would have,” Wolf said last month. “Had I known this guy (Brady) was who he was …

“We kind of deviated just a tad from our normal procedure. You know, whenever one changes something, it jumps up and bites you in the ass. I still think about that. It’s one of those things, you’re never too old to learn. I’m not sure why I didn’t nip it in the bud.”

“I just know that we really just did a terrible job as an organization on Tom Brady,” said Wolf. “It was a joke, the reports we had on him. A disgrace. We had three reports, and three guys said he couldn’t play.”

Brady has proven everyone who skipped on him with the quality he's showcased in his 20-year career. He's a six-time Super Bowl champion, a three-time NFL MVP, a 14-time fixture at the Pro Bowl, and a three-time First-Team All-Pro selection.

He's made his mark on football and made the Packers and the rest of the NFL regret not picking him earlier than the 199th pick.
