"They are a physically and mentally tough team that works hard, that trains hard, that prepares hard and have met every challenge that I’ve put in front of them. And I know that because I work them every day.
This team was the best team in the AFC in the regular season and we won two games in the playoffs against two good football teams, the best team in the postseason. And that’s what this team is
And I know that because I’ve been with them every day and I’m proud of this team."

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft enjoys telling the story about how he met Tom Brady for the first time. It was during the 2000 mini-camp when Brady was a rookie buried at the bottom of the depth chart.
He stopped Kraft one day after practice. “We’ve never met,” he said, “but I’m Tom Brady.” Kraft said, “I know who you are, you’re the quarterback from Michigan. You were our sixth round draft choice.”
Kraft recalls Brady saying, “Yes, and I’m the best decision this organization has ever made.”
I get chills every time I hear Kraft tell that story.
