The greatest football player of all time has officially retired. Tom Brady is retiring after a long career of twenty three seasons, with Brady having arguably the best records in basically every meaningful statistical category, every fan and media member sees Brady as the greatest player of all time.
Tom Brady has accomplished more in his career than any other player and it’s not even close, with Brady racking up several Super Bowl rings and ten Super Bowl appearances, no other player has even come or will come close to catching Brady in rings. With Brady spending twenty seasons with the New England Patriots he won six rings and created arguably the league’s best dynasty. The Patriots and Brady were the best team year in and year out as they went to eight straight AFC championship games and ranks number one in NFL history in completions (7,753), pass attempts (12,050), yards (89,214), passing TDs (649), starts (333), QB wins (251), Pro Bowl nods (15) and Super Bowl MVPs (five). Brady led the NFL in passing TDs five times (2002, 2007, 2010, 2015, 2021), the most such seasons by any player in NFL history.
With Brady being the ultimate competitor he was known as the guy to outwork every single person on the team or any player in the NFL, Brady is seen as a Cinderella story as he was drafted in the six round by the Patriots in the year 2000 NFL draft. With Brady playing over twenty seasons in the NFL he reset the record for how long quarterbacks are playing till, before Brady the NFL saw a max quarterback career of 10-15 seasons and now players like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are likely to play into their 40’s.
Tom is a no doubt hall of famer and can be elected in 2028 were he is a guaranteed lock to be a first ballot hall of famer. Tom had the best career any player could have ever dreamed of and now we can reflect on his career and watch Tom in his post football life. Congrats Goat on the retirement.
