Last month, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady unearthed an old gem from his days before he came a Super Bowl-winning QB in the NFL. Pulling out his old résumé, Brady showed off his greatest attributes and accomplishments before he established himself as an all-time great in the league. The document boasted about his "General Studies" degree, an internship at Merrill Lynch, and even a position working at the University of Michigan golf course.
As you'll see, Brady was also sure to note his starting quarterback spot with the Michigan Wolverines in the "Additional" section of the CV. Not a bad footnote, huh?
Brady's old résumé inspired us to do some digging of our own, hoping to find out what his professional colleagues would highlight as their primary talents and achievements if pressed to do so. From Peyton Manning to Ben Roethlishberger to Tony Romo, we've put together a collection of the NFL's best quarterback résumés, giving future employers a full run-down on what they can expect from some of the league's top signal-callers. As we've seen time and time again, life after the NFL can be tough for former players. It's never too early to start planning for retirement.
