(“Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Junior” (born August 3, 1977) is an American football quarterback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL))
He is one of only two players — and the only quarterback — to win five Super Bowl rings, and the only player to win them all playing for one team.
After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
In Brady’s 15 seasons as a starter, he has quarterbacked the Patriots to seven Super Bowl appearances, the most for any player in history. He also endured the Deflategate football tampering scandal during 2015 and 2016.
Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards (Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX, and LI), the most ever by a single player, has won two league MVP awards (2007 and 2010), has been selected to 12 Pro Bowls, and has led his team to more division titles (14) than any other quarterback in NFL history. As of the end of the 2016 season, Brady is fourth all-time in career passing yards, fourth in career touchdown passes, and third in career passer rating. His career postseason record is 25–9, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and he appeared in more playoff games than any player at any position. His 208 combined regular season and postseason wins are also the most of any quarterback in NFL history.
(because of his accomplishments and accolades, many analysts and sportswriters consider Brady to be the greatest quarterback of all time)
