Georgetown business school tapped Tom Brady as commencement speaker, and he centered his message on resilience, telling graduates their own “28-3 moment” is coming and they must choose to keep fighting.
Brady framed that lesson through Super Bowl LI, when the Patriots trailed Atlanta 28-3 and the Falcons’ win probability hit 99.7% before New England rallied for a 34-28 overtime victory.
The seven-time champion mixed in jokes about Bill Belichick, saying a coach spent 20 years telling him how bad he was, and teased Jets fans and Eli Manning while recounting his career numbers.
Brady closed by urging graduates to prepare for adversity, avoid excuses and surround themselves with demanding people — even “a cranky old coach” — because failure is temporary but quitting guarantees defeat.
