Brady encouraged the graduating class to overcome doubt and adversity. He even took a shot at his former coach Bill Belichick, who he won six titles with during their time together with the New England Patriots. This comes after Brady made an appearance during Netflix's roast of Kevin Hart. Turns out he saved a zinger for Belichick.

"Challenge yourself with ideas that are uncomfortable and people who push you to be your very best, even if one of those people is a cranky old coach who cuts the sleeves off his sweatshirt and screams at you all day to do your job," Brady told students.
