Tom Brady may be a sports icon in the United States, but the people of Ireland can also lay claim to him.
It should come as no surprise that the quarterback has Irish ancestry given his last name. He has only grown more and more proud of his Irish heritage over the years.
The former New England Patriot, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., was born in California. His Irish ancestors first immigrated to America through Massachusetts, the second-most Irish state. These ancestors are on his dad's side; his mother is of German, Polish, and Scandinavian descent.
