The Brady 6 is a 2011 documentary film that documents the six quarterbacks drafted ahead of nine-time Pro Bowler Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. The film was developed and released by ESPN in 2011 as part of its "Year of the Quarterback" series. Brady and five members of the Brady 6 were among those interviewed.

Story
The movie documented Brady's early life and career at Michigan, including his competition with Drew Henson, which helped Brady's draft stock drop. For the 2000 draft, analysts wrote Brady as having "poor build, too skinny, lacks strength, gets knocked down too easily." As a result, six quarterbacks were taken before Brady: Chad Pennington of Marshall (18th overall by the New York Jets), Giovanni Carmazzi of Hofstra (65th by the San Francisco 49ers), Chris Redman of Louisville (75th by the Baltimore Ravens), Tee Martin of Tennessee (163rd by the Pittsburgh Steelers), Marc Bulger of West Virginia (168th by the New Orleans Saints) and Spergon Wynn of Southwest Texas State (183rd by Cleveland Browns). The Patriots, who were the only team to contact Brady, eventually drafted him in the 6th round, 199th overall.

Carmazzi eventually played against Brady in the 2000 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, and struggled, completing 3 of 7 passes for 19 yards in a 20–0 loss. Carmazzi later became a farmer with five goats, and was the lone member of the Brady 6 to not be interviewed for the film.
