Tom Brady (born August 3, 1977) is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history, having played an unprecedented 23 seasons across two franchises. Drafted 199th overall by the New England Patriots in the 2000 draft—the biggest steal in NFL history—he led them to six Super Bowl titles over 20 seasons before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and winning a seventh in Super Bowl LV. He holds the all-time records for career passing yards, completions, touchdowns, and quarterback wins, and is the only player to be named Super Bowl MVP for two different teams. Known for his remarkable longevity, Brady was the oldest NFL MVP (at age 40), the oldest Super Bowl MVP (at age 43), and the only quarterback to win a championship in three separate decades. Growing up in San Mateo, California, as a fan of Joe Montana's 49ers, he went from a high school backup to a unanimous selection on the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. Since retiring, he transitioned to broadcasting and team ownership, becoming the lead color commentator for the NFL on Fox and a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024.
