One of Tom Brady’s first connections as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer wasn’t with Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. It was with Byron Leftwich, the team’s offensive coordinator and then a rising star as a potential head coach.
The two met throughout Brady’s first offseason with the team to build a playbook. Brady even visited Leftwich’s neighbors, albeit accidentally when he wasn’t sure exactly which house was his coordinator’s. Together they built on the quarterback’s prolific legacy. The Bucs won Super Bowl 54 at home. Brady threw 40 touchdowns that season.
