No quarterback has dominated the NFL over nearly two decades like Tom Brady has with the New England Patriots. The resume speaks for itself: five Super Bowl rings, three MVPs, 13 Pro Bowls, two Offensive Player of the Years, and a Comeback Player of the Year.

Since Brady became the starter in 2001 the Patriots have never had a losing season, and haven’t had a season without double-digit wins since 2002. Even the year Brady lost all but one game to a torn ACL the Patriots won 11 games.

Four times he’s led the league in touchdowns and twice he’s led the league in passing yards. It’s resulted in him being fourth on the all-time passing yards list, just 5,800 yards behind Peyton Manning’s record. He’ll be battling Drew Brees, who has about 4,300 more yards, for a couple more years.

Brady and Brees are also tied for third all-time for passing touchdowns with 488 each, 51 behind Manning’s record.

Even at the age of 41 Brady has been an ageless wonder, leading the Patriots to another Super Bowl appearance last season. Despite losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady set the single-game playoff passing yard record with 505 yards in his record-setting eighth Super Bowl appearance.

He’s done it with Hall of Famers and scrubs throughout his career, and the scary part? He’s still going strong.
