FOXBORO (CBS) – New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, speaking from Gillette Stadium on Friday, remembers back to when he first met Tom Brady.The 22-year-old Brady was just as confident as the 34-year-old version that takes the field every Sunday for the Patriots.
“I still have the image of Tom Brady coming down the old Foxboro stadium steps with that pizza box under his arm, a skinny beanpole, and when he introduced himself to me and said ‘Hi Mr. Kraft,’ he was about to say who he was, but I said ‘I know who you are, you’re Tom Brady. You’re our sixth round draft choice,’” recalled Kraft.
“And he looked me in the eye and he said ‘I’m the best decision this organization has ever made.’ It looks like he could be right.”
