TAMPA, Fla. — Yes, Tom Brady is the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards. And touchdowns. And almost every other passing statistic. But what is remarkable — what sets him apart from most athletes in most sports — is that he is still playing at age 45 and still performing at an elite level.
To put that in perspective, we’ve been comparing Brady each week of the 2022 season with a list of history’s greatest quarterbacks.
It was never meant to be a perfect apples-to-apples comparison because of the differences in eras. Not to mention, almost every QB we mentioned had retired long before turning 45. But it was meant to give you an idea of how rare it was to see a player still dominating while holding off middle age.
