Brady stayed in college an extra year so he could get more starting experience before applying for the 2000 NFL draft. Once again he started every game (12) for the Michigan Wolverines and at the end of the season was named the Bo Schembechler Award winner as Michigan's Most Valuable Player. Tom Brady led the team to a 10 & 2 record and improved statistically also with 214 completions on 341 attempts for 2586 yards, 20 touchdowns, and five interceptions.<ref>http://stats.ath.umich.edu/biostat.php?skey=737&altkey=1850</ref> Surprisingly enough, the last game of his college career was also his best game ever as a quarterback up to that point. In the FedEx Orange Bowl vs Alabama on January 1, 2000, Brady led the Wolverines back from a 14-point deposit to win the game by a score of 35 to 34 in overtime.<ref>http://stats.ath.umich.edu/football/gametot.php?gkey=543</ref> In the dramatic game and overtime finish, Brady completed 34 of 46 passes for 369 yards and four touchdowns.

===Draft and Rookie Year===

In 2000, the [[New England Patriots]] drafted Brady in the sixth round (199 overall) of the [[2000 NFL Draft]]. Brady who had been expecting to be drafted in the third or fourth was tremendously disappointed with being drafted so late in the draft. However, as disappointed as Brady was at getting drafted in the sixth round - he may have been luckily to have been drafted at all. One scout wrote about Brady prior to the draft in a scouting report that Tom had "Poor build, very skinny and narrow, lacks mobility and the ability to avoid the rush, lacks a really strong arm."<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/03/60minutes/main1008148.shtml</ref> When Brady arrived at the Foxboro, [[Massachusetts]] in the summer of 2000, the Patriots at the time already had three quarterbacks on the roster so Brady didn't have a guarantee of even making the team, but he ended up played well in preseason and training camp and won the third quarterback roster spot. He only appeared in one game as a rookie and completed one pass.
