8, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has maintained the unusual digital archive for years. Brady appeared in 10 Super Bowls and won seven of them. His championship run began with the Patriots following the 2001 season and eventually extended to the Buccaneers, where he won his seventh title nearly two decades later. Brady entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick before spending more than 20 seasons building routines around preparation, film study and training.
Brady recently revealed that he created folders for his Super Bowl victories and kept the congratulatory messages people sent him after each championship. The later ones followed titles won after Brady had already become one of the NFL’s biggest names.
On Feb, according to Brady’s YouTube QnA video posted months ago. “You know what’s pretty cool, let me show you my phone,” Brady said. I wanted to keep them as great memories,” Brady said.
“I have kept file folders. I file everything. Those folders contain messages sent to Brady following his championship wins. Rather than leaving the texts buried in years of conversations, he saved them separately. “I keep all the amazing messages that people sent me. It is a collection tied to a résumé no other NFL quarterback has matched. He also earned five Super Bowl MVP awards. The first messages date back to the beginning of his championship run with New England. His final championship came with Tampa Bay, giving the archive material from different teams and different stages of his career. His organizational habits were also well documented throughout his playing career. Saving and sorting championship messages follows the same basic instinct: keep track of what matters instead of assuming it will always be easy to find later.
