They say you never know what you have until it's gone. No one has felt this sentiment more than New England Patriots fans after the departure of their beloved quarterback of the last 20 years, Tom Brady, who left the team this offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That'll make this clip of a young TB12 throwing lasers during the Skills Challenge at the 2002 Pro Bowl even harder to watch for Pats fans.

Unstoppable! And people questioned this guy's arm strength at times throughout his career?

“The most surprising fact about [Brady] last year that caught my eye: the strength of his arm, throws tight spirals, he can power the ball through the wind,” Phil Simms said while doing commentary about the then 25-year-old Brady.

Brady racked up a score of 24 points in the accuracy challenge, but was still frustrated that he couldn't get on the board with the long ball. Don’t get too down on yourself, young Tommy! For the next 18 (and counting) years, you will make plenty of Pats fans happy and every other team miserable with your accuracy and postseason dominance.
