Opportunity Received

In college Tom Brady was in a spirited battle for the starting quarterback job.

An assistant athletic director told him the story of Desmond Howard, the struggling wide receiver who several years earlier felt victimized by QB Elvis Grbac's slightly off-target throws. Harden told Howard to view it instead as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show off his elite receiving skills. And now he related the story to Brady.

"That clicked for me. It's like... when they make it the hardest, and you still overcome it, that's the best opportunity."
