The time Tom Brady got stuck in a locker at church image

With Super Bowl XLIX fast approaching, the articles delving into the player's pasts are coming on strong.

The New York Times published a wonderful piece on Pom Brady's family life, and Monday Morning QB took a look at the high school lives of many of the players involved in the big game, and one tidbit about Tom Brady stood out above all the rest.

“Everything you’d imagine Tom Brady to be like in high school, he was. An All-American boy, very well-behaved, a hard worker, great sense of humor, easygoing—the guy every mother would want her son to be.

“He had lots of friends, too, and fit in with his teammates, but of course there was a bit of jealousy when he started getting attention. All the sportswriters wanted talk to him; he was the star. Well, one time we were at mass, and Tom was missing. Nobody knew where he was, so we went looking. I investigated in the locker room, and somehow one of his teammates had managed to lock Tom in one of the lockers. Luckily I had the master key to get him out. I think they just wanted Tom to get in trouble, for once.”

If you haven't had a teammate stuff you in a locker, you aren't living. It turns out Tom Brady is just like the rest of us normal people. 

Kinda.
