2024
- Bench press245 lb
“He was able to go up to 245 pounds, a personal best for him at 47 years-old.”
One-rep max shown in Brady's own YouTube video (2024-08-28); the article reports it. FitnessVolt says he needed a retry with a new spotter.
- 40-yard dash5.18 s
“Brady had two friends clock his 40-yard dash in the video, one clocking him at 5.18 seconds and the other at 5.12.”
Hand-timed by two friends (5.18 and 5.12); recorded as the slower 5.18. Hand times read faster than the electronic combine time (5.28). Dated by the article date, 2024-02-29; Brady posted the video that day. He set 'sub 5.00 next year' as a goal; no later run found.
2005
- Bench press225 lb × 8
“I mean the most I did was like 225 for like 8 or 9.”
Brady said '8 or 9'; recorded as 8. Date is approximate: he places it in '05-'06, competing with Matt Cassel (Cassel joined the Patriots in 2005). Effort changed from max to amrap (2026-10-21): it is his best rep set with a fixed 225 lb load, so it is a rep max, not a one-rep max; it is not a working set, because he calls it 'the most I did'.
2000
- 40-yard dash5.28 s
“40-yard dash: 5.28 seconds”
The article lists his 2000 combine results. Source moved from Wikipedia (2026-10-21): its measurables table puts labels and values in separate rows, so no exact quote was possible. Wikipedia's table gives the same value and a combine weight of 211 lb; it also says he had 'an unimpressive NFL Scouting Combine performance'.
- Broad jump99 in
“Broad Jump: 99 inches”
Converted from 99 in (8 ft 3 in, x 2.54). Source moved from Wikipedia (2026-10-21): its measurables table puts labels and values in separate rows, so no exact quote was possible. Wikipedia's table gives the same value and a combine weight of 211 lb; it also says he had 'an unimpressive NFL Scouting Combine performance'. One Sportskeeda article says he skipped the broad jump; Wikipedia, Topend Sports and Mockdraftable all list 99 in.
- 20-yard shuttle (short shuttle)4.38 s
“20-yard shuttle: 4.38 seconds”
Same value on Topend Sports and in the Wikipedia pre-draft measurables table (shuttle = 4.38).
- 3-cone drill7.2 s
“3-cone drill: 7.20 seconds”
Same value on Topend Sports and in the Wikipedia pre-draft measurables table.
- 20-yard split (in the 40-yard dash)2.99 s
“20-yard split: 2.99 seconds”
Wikipedia's pre-draft table also gives 2.99. Topend Sports gives 2.94, so medium. The 10-yard split is left out: sources give 1.70, 1.75 and 1.77.
- Vertical jump24.5 in
“Vertical jump: 24.5 inches”
Converted from 24.5 in (x 2.54). Source moved from Wikipedia (2026-10-21): its measurables table puts labels and values in separate rows, so no exact quote was possible. Wikipedia's table gives the same value and a combine weight of 211 lb; it also says he had 'an unimpressive NFL Scouting Combine performance'.
