Tom Brady is widely regarded as not only the greatest NFL player of all time, but perhaps one of the greatest, most accomplished professional sports athletes this world has ever seen.
In a league that prides itself on parity, Brady has gone and done something that no other NFL quarterback ever has, winning six Lombardi Trophies with the New England Patriots and another with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the age of 43—giving him an unprecedented seven Super Bowl rings.
The accomplishments of Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. are that much more impressive when you consider the fact that he wasn’t selected until the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft, at 199th overall. And his accolades go well beyond his championship rings, as he also holds practically every major NFL quarterback record, including most career passing yards, passing touchdowns, wins (both regular season and playoffs), Pro Bowls, Super Bowl MVPs, and the list goes on and on.
With a resume like that, it’s no wonder Tom Brady is the most popular player to ever step foot on an NFL field. And with all that popularity comes plenty of news about the GOAT—all of which you can keep track of right here.
Tom Brady is a quarterback in the NFL and currently plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was a New England Patriot for 20 seasons, winning six Super Bowls with them and one with the Buccaneers. He is a five-time Super Bowl MVP, a two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and a 15-time Pro Bowler.
Brady played college football at the University of Michigan where he redshirted his first year and spent the next two years as a backup quarterback. His first-ever pass attempt at the college level was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. He became the starter in the 1998-1999 seasons. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft as the 199th overall pick by the New England Patriots. He led the team to 17 AFC East titles and is the winningest quarterback in NFL history with a combined total of 285 wins. He has defeated all 32 teams and was named Male Athlete of the Year in 2007. He announced his retirement in February of 2022, but just 40 days later announced that he would return. Many Patriots fans were upset because he did not mention the Patriots fans in his initial retirement statement.
Tom Brady’s personal life has always made headlines, and his recent divorce from Super Model Gisele Bundchen was big news in the media. They began dating in 2006, married in 2009, and officially divorced in 2022.
