Quarterbacks with Many Super Bowl Starts

Tom Brady started ten Super Bowls, double that of John Elway, who is second. Brady won seven.

John Elway started five Super Bowls, winning two.

Jim Kelly started four Super Bowls without winning any, a record. He's one of seven quarterbacks who have started at least four Super Bowls.

Winning the Super Bowl is a huge deal for a quarterback. It often helps decide how great a player is considered. Most quarterbacks who have won multiple Super Bowls are now in the Hall of Fame. Only Jim Plunkett has won more than one Super Bowl but is not yet in the Hall of Fame.

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the only starting quarterbacks to have won Super Bowls with two different NFL teams. Craig Morton and Kurt Warner also started for a second team, but did not win with both.
