Tom Brady’s records in the NFL

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. he is 44 years old. Of them, more than half have been dedicated to his work, his profession, what he has said on more than one occasion “born to do”: American football.

Today he is considered the best American football player in history. But the base of that man, who is a benchmark among his peers and accustomed to breaking records, began to be forged at the beginning of the century.

drafted 199th in 2000, Brady reached New England Patriots. In his debut, an urgency led him to mark a milestone. Drew Bledson, his idol, suffered an injury and it was his moment. Since that September 23, 2001 in Foxborough, nothing has been the same: 2002, 2003, 2005, 2015, 2017 and 2018 were Super Bowl years.

And in 2020, although from a different path, the seventh Vince Lombardi trophy arrived (from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) to consecrate him as the only player with that number of Super Bowls. In this way, Brady managed to have more Super Bowls than any other team in history, as the Patriots and Steelers follow with six rings each.

This Tuesday, February 1, after 22 seasons in the NFL and an eternal list of records, Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from American football through his social networks. As an absolute legend, he went big, because in his last season he led the NFL in passing yards (5,316), touchdown passes (43), passes thrown (719) and passing yards per game (312.7). . He led his Buccaneers to the Playoffs with a 13-4 record, falling in the Divisional Round to the Los Angeles Rams.

Despite his 44 years, the “GOAT” is a serious candidate for MVP after what was his last season as a professional. Moreover, according to experts, the award for the best player in the league has two favorites: Brady and the Packers’ QB and current MVP, Aaron Rodgers.
