Tom Brady reveals he took 15-minute nap before playing in 1st Super Bowl

He explained to FOX colleagues Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan on "The Madden Cruiser Tour: A Bayou Adventure with Bill Belichick" that he decided to take a quick snooze before Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis Rams. The game was played in the Superdome in New Orleans.

"We had to warm up on the field and then we have 50 minutes before we went back out. So, I took my pads off and I was like, you know, I'm just gonna lay down and rest and I literally took a 15-minute nap before the game," he explained.

Strahan was stunned and said he would've been jittery the entire day.

"The difference is, when you're young, you don't realize the enormity of what you're going through because I had not really been in the league that long. Eighteen years later, when I was playing in the Super Bowl, I couldn't sleep the night before the game," Brady said.

Brady will be coming back to where he won his first Super Bowl.
