Tom Brady 2020 Game Worn & Signed Cleats | First Buccaneers Win

These cleats were worn by Tom Brady in his first-ever NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers win in 2020. In a notable moment in Buccaneers history, quarterback Tom Brady secured his first victory with the team as they triumphed over the Panthers with a score of 31-17. The game took place on Sunday, September 20, 2020, at Raymond James Stadium during Week 2 of the season. 

Brady completed 23 out of 35 passes for 217 yards and threw for one touchdown in the win. This victory marked the beginning of a season where Brady would further cement his legacy as the greatest player in NFL history. The Buccaneers would go on to win 10 more games that year en route to an 11-5 record and a spot in the playoffs. From there, Brady would prove to the world that wherever he went, he was a champion, leading Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl victory and his record extending 7th ring.

Going Deeper | Tom Brady's and the Buccaneers

Brady’s switch from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was more than just a change of teams; it was a testament to his unyielding determination, his hunger for success, and his unwavering belief in his own abilities.

Brady's 2020 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went beyond just another quest for the championship; it was a journey to prove his own self-reliance. He set out to establish that he could excel outside the system that had defined his career and shake his association with Patriots’ Head Coach Bill Belichick. His performances showcased his mastery of the game, his ability to read defenses, and his signature clutch playmaking.

Brady would end the year in the same place he had been nine times before, leading his team out of the tunnel before the Super Bowl, this time against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. Unlike his first trip, when he led the Patriots to an underdog victory in the waning moments of the game, Brady put on a masterclass and the game never felt close, the culmination of all the experience and success that at once seemed so improbable.

Brady was responsible for three touchdowns—two to his former teammate in New England, Rob Gronkowski—and no interceptions, on his way to a record-extending fifth Super Bowl MVP.

In his speech during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl ring ceremony, addressing his teammates, family, and friends, Brady finally took a moment to look back:

“A lot of you guys were young when I got drafted. I was a sixth-round pick; I was the 199th pick. I never forgot that. I still haven’t forgot that to this day. I have a lot of perspective of where I was at one point in my life and that not a lot of teams thought that I could do anything for them. Not a lot of teams ever believed in what I thought I could accomplish.”

Then as he had throughout his career, he deflected praise to his teammates. “[Everyone always asks] ‘Why the Bucs? Why did you choose the Bucs?’ It was a no brainer,” Brady said, before thanking his teammates individually by name. “I came here to be with you guys. I chose here because of you guys.”

Brady would stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another two years, and although they did not achieve the same success in the postseason, his passing ability would continue to reach new heights, even in the twilight of his career.
