There was plenty of doubt surrounding the health of Tom Brady last winter as the New England Patriots missed their chance at a perfect 19-0 season with a devastating loss in Super Bowl XLII.

If the Patriots lose their first-rounder next season they still will have a first-round pick, obtained from San Francisco in the deal that brought Moss from Oakland.
