This day in Pats history (sort of): Belichick's B-day and Brady gets drafted

Greg M. Cooper/US Presswire

One could make the argument that the 16th of April is the most important day in Patriots history for 2 reasons. Reason #1: Bill Belichick was born on this day in 1952. Reason #2: The Patriots drafted one Tom Brady on April 16th, 2000.

April 16 is a special day in #Patriots history: Bill Belichick was born on this day in 1952, and Tom Brady was drafted 199th overall in 2000

The Brady/Belichick combo has been pretty good, I guess. 3 Super Bowls in 5 tries is kind of impressive, right?

I kid - the Brady/Belichick combo will go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest coach/quarterback combination in the history. You could make the argument that the Patriots dynasty was born on this date in 1952 and 2000. Or you could say the seeds were planted when Robert Kraft bought the team, but the importance of this date in Pats history can't be understated.
