Tom Brady has a headstart over Peyton and Eli Manning as uncle and mentor to a superstar college athlete.
As the football world waits for former top recruit Arch Manning to become the starting quarterback at Texas, the final leg of Maya Brady’s record-setting softball career at UCLA was on center stage Saturday in the Women’s College World Series.
While Maya, who turned 23 on Saturday, has her mother Maureen’s own good athletic genes to thank, her seven-time Super Bowl-winning uncle also plays a role in her success.

Maya considers Tom — her mother’s younger brother — to be a “father figure,” she told ESPN.
Maureen reportedly raised her two daughters as a single mom.
