If the legendary Tom Brady had never played in the NFL, just how different would American football history be? ChatGPT has an idea.
Nobody could have guessed it at the time, but the NFL would change forever after the New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady in the sixth round (199th overall) in 2000. In 23 seasons, Brady won a record seven Super Bowls (also more than any other franchise) and played in the big game a whopping 10 times.
The popular Pickinem Instagram account asked ChatGPT who would have won the Super Bowl in Brady’s seven championship-winning seasons (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020) if he never existed.
According to ChatGPT’s calculations? Patrick Mahomes would already be a Super Bowl champion, and the Pittsburgh Steelers would have lost the big game three times:
The NFL without Tom Brady according to Chat GPT.
There will never be another Brady 🐐

What can we say? Haters of the Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs owe a lot to Tom Brady, who went a combined 6-0 against those clubs in the postseason.
Just think about how many other NFL dynasties could have existed if not for Brady. Peyton Manning would have surely won more than one Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts.
The St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks could have started dynasties if Brady’s New England Patriots didn’t break their momentum. And Mahomes could have been the “GOAT” with five rings, if not for Brady.
