Tom Brady was the biggest steal in draft history, being selected in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots out of Michigan. As a rookie, Brady hardly got any playing time as he backed up veteran QB Drew Bledsoe. In 2001, Brady took over and led the Patriots to their first-ever Super Bowl win, marketing the beginning of the NFL’s greatest dynasty ever. The Patriots won three Super Bowls in four years between 2001-04 and then won three more in five years with TB12 under center in 2015-19.

During his 20-year career in New England, Brady made 14 Pro Bowls, three All-Pro teams, six Super Bowls, won three MVPs, and two Offensive Players of the Year awards. After the 2019 season, Brady signed with the Buccaneers and led them to a Super Bowl win in his first year there. TB12 is breaking barriers with his success this late into his life as the oldest player to accomplish a variety of records. His overall resume is second to none and why he’ll likely never be surpassed as the greatest winner in football history.

TOM BRADY WILL LIKELY FOREVER BE THE GREATEST WINNER IN FOOTBALL HISTORY

With 10 Super Bowl appearances and seven Super Bowl wins, Brady has more SB wins and appearances than any NFL team. Even when the Buccaneers were the five seed in the Playoffs, Brady still found a way to win games to get his seventh ring. He already has countless NFL records, and he’s not done quite yet. 

Since 2003, Brady has only missed the playoffs once, in 2008 when he tore his ACL in the first game of the season. No matter how much the odds are stacked against him, Tom Brady still always finds a way to win. While he’s universally viewed as the greatest QB of all-time and even the greatest player in NFL history, Patrick Mahomes might change that narrative one day. Either way though, Mahomes or any player will likely never surpass TB12 as the greatest WINNER in football history.
