Nov. 23, 2000 — that's the date Tom Brady officially made his NFL debut. While it didn't come in a start, the young quarterback for the Patriots got his first taste of pro football action, coming in to relieve Drew Bledsoe during a blowout loss to the Lions. 

Flash forward 24 years, Brady made a different type of NFL debut. 

The seven-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots and Buccaneers hasn't been a rookie on the field in over two decades, but he had his own kind of first-year jitters at work. Brady made his broadcasting debut in Week 1 on Fox, joining Kevin Burkhardt in the booth to give analysis on the Cowboys-Browns contest to start the 2024 season.
