Whenever Tom Brady plays in prime time, fans are reminded that he was the No. 199 overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft. There’s no denying how incredible a story he’s been, winning six Super Bowls after being a sixth-round pick, but the constant reminders of his draft slot can grow old.
Ironically, it was another former 199th overall pick who helped seal the Rams’ win over the Bucs on Monday night as Jordan Fuller, a sixth-round rookie, picked off Brady not once, but twice in the game.
After his game-clinching interception, the Rams used the opportunity to troll Brady with a playful jab, recognizing Fuller’s draft position in a tweet highlighting the rookie’s play.
Not too shabby for pick No. 199 😉@j_fuller4 called game!

Subtle, but effective. And also very funny.
The Rams are now 2-5 against Brady all-time, with this being their first win over him since his first year as a starter in 2001.
