Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. (born August 3, 1977) is a famous American former football quarterback. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for 23 seasons. He spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots and was a key player in their amazing success from 2001 to 2019. For his last three seasons, he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many people think Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time.

Brady played college football for the Michigan Wolverines. He was chosen very late in the 2000 NFL draft, as the 199th pick. This made him known as one of the biggest "draft steals" in NFL history. He became the starting quarterback in his second season. That year, the Patriots won their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXVI. As the main starter for 18 seasons, Brady led the Patriots to 17 division titles and nine Super Bowl appearances, winning six of them. These are all NFL records for a player and a team. He joined the Buccaneers in 2020 and won Super Bowl LV, which meant he had played in ten Super Bowls and won seven. In 2024, Brady became a lead TV commentator for the NFL on Fox and also became a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Brady holds many important quarterback records. These include the most career passing yards, completions, and touchdown passes. He also has the most career wins for a quarterback in both regular season and playoffs. He is the only Super Bowl MVP for two different teams. Brady has been chosen for the Pro Bowl more than anyone else. He is also known for playing successfully for a very long time. He was the oldest NFL MVP at 40 and the oldest Super Bowl MVP at 43. Brady is the only NFL quarterback to be named to two all-decade teams (2000s and 2010s). He was also chosen for the National Football League 100th Anniversary All-Time Team in 2019.

Early Life and High School Sports

Brady was born in San Mateo, California, on August 3, 1977. He was the only boy and the youngest of four children. As a kid in the 1980s, Brady often went to San Francisco 49ers games. He was a big fan of quarterback Joe Montana, who he called his idol.

Brady went to Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo. He played football, basketball, and baseball there. He started as a backup quarterback on the junior varsity team. At first, his team wasn't very good, but Brady became the starter when the main quarterback got hurt. He became the varsity starter in his junior year and kept that spot until he graduated in 1995.

Brady was also a talented baseball player. He was a left-handed catcher who could hit with power. Major League Baseball (MLB) scouts were impressed by his skills. He was even drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. The Expos thought he could become "one of the greatest catchers ever." However, Brady chose to play football for the University of Michigan instead. He finished his high school football career with 3,702 passing yards and 31 touchdowns. He won All-State honors and was named his team's Most Valuable Player.

In 2003, Brady was inducted into the Junípero Serra High School Hall of Fame. In 2012, the school named its football stadium "Brady Family Stadium" in his honor.

College Football Journey

Brady played college football at the University of Michigan from 1995 to 1999. He didn't play much in his first two years. He was a backup quarterback while another future NFL player, Brian Griese, led the team to a national championship in 1997. Brady even thought about transferring to another school because he wasn't getting much playing time. He worked with a sports psychologist to help him with his frustration and build his confidence.

Under Michigan's head coach, Lloyd Carr, Brady fought for the starting job. He became the full-time starter in 1998 and 1999. In 1998, he set Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions in a season. He finished that season with a win in the 1999 Citrus Bowl.

In 1999, Brady again had to compete for the starting spot. He eventually became the clear starter for the rest of the season. In a thrilling game against Ohio State, Brady led Michigan to a winning score with only five minutes left. He then led Michigan to an overtime win in the 2000 Orange Bowl against Alabama. He threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns in that game.

In his two seasons as a starter at Michigan, Brady had a 20–5 record. He finished his college career ranking high in Michigan's history for passing yards, completions, and touchdown passes. He graduated in December 1999.

Professional Football Career

Overview of Brady's Success

Brady with the Patriots in 2009

Tom Brady is known for his strong work ethic, competitive spirit, and intelligence on the field. He played 333 regular season games and 48 playoff games, which is the most for any NFL quarterback. He spent 20 seasons with the Patriots and three with the Buccaneers. He was the main starter for 21 seasons and his teams always had a chance to make the playoffs.

Brady won 251 regular season games and 35 playoff games, which are the most in NFL history. He is the only quarterback to win 200 regular season games. He led the Patriots to 17 division titles and the Buccaneers to two division titles. Brady is the only quarterback to lead a team to a perfect 16–0 regular season (in 2007). He also became one of only four quarterbacks to defeat all 32 NFL teams. He has been chosen for the Pro Bowl 15 times and was named league MVP three times (2007, 2010, 2017). His 2010 MVP award was the first time a player was chosen unanimously.

Brady's 21 seasons as a starter led to seven Super Bowl titles. This is more than any other player and more than any NFL team. He played in a record 10 Super Bowls. He is one of only two quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. He won six titles with the Patriots and one with the Buccaneers. Brady holds the record for Super Bowl MVP awards with five. He is the only player to win this award with two different teams. He holds almost every major quarterback record, including the all-time leader in passing yards, attempts, and touchdowns in both the regular season and playoffs. He is the only quarterback with 600 career regular-season touchdowns.

Starting with the New England Patriots

Drafted in 2000

Brady was not a highly-rated player coming out of college. He was chosen by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft, as the 199th pick. Six other quarterbacks were picked before him. Brady and his family were surprised and disappointed. Because of his huge success later, many people now call Brady the best NFL draft pick ever.

In his first season in 2000, Brady was the fourth-string quarterback. He only completed one pass for six yards all season.

First Super Bowl Win in 2001

In the second game of the 2001 New England Patriots season, the starting quarterback, Drew Bledsoe, got hurt. Brady became the new starter. In his first start, the Patriots won 44–13. Brady quickly started playing well. In one game, he led the Patriots to a comeback win against the San Diego Chargers, earning his first AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. The Patriots won 11 of the 14 games Brady started and finished the regular season with six straight wins. Brady ended the 2001 season with 2,843 passing yards and 18 touchdowns. He was invited to the 2002 Pro Bowl.

In his first playoff game, against the Oakland Raiders, Brady led a comeback in the fourth quarter. A controversial play, known as the "tuck rule," helped the Patriots. The call was changed from a fumble to an incomplete pass, keeping the ball with New England. The Patriots won 16–13 in overtime. In the next game, Brady got hurt, but the Patriots still won the AFC Championship.

In Super Bowl XXXVI, the Patriots were big underdogs against the St. Louis Rams. With the game tied and little time left, Brady led his team down the field. Kicker Adam Vinatieri made a 48-yard field goal as time ran out, giving the Patriots a 20–17 win. Brady was named Super Bowl MVP. At 24 years old, he became the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.

Back-to-Back Super Bowl Wins (2003–2004)

In the 2003 New England Patriots season, Brady led the Patriots to 12 wins in a row, finishing with a 14–2 record. He was third in the NFL MVP voting. The Patriots won their playoff games and faced the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Brady led his team to a 32–29 victory and was named Super Bowl MVP again. He threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns.

In the 2004 NFL season, the Patriots set an NFL record with 21 straight wins, including playoff games. They finished the season 14–2. Brady threw for 3,692 yards and 28 touchdowns. In Super Bowl XXXIX, the Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24–21, winning their third championship in four years. They were the first team since the Dallas Cowboys to do this.

2007: A Perfect Regular Season

In the 2007 New England Patriots season, Brady had one of the best seasons ever for a quarterback. He played with new receivers like Randy Moss. Brady led the Patriots to a perfect 16–0 regular season, the first in NFL history. He set new records for passing touchdowns in a season with 50. He also had a career-high 117.2 passer rating. Brady was named the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Offensive Player of the Year.

The Patriots won their first two playoff games, extending their winning streak to 18 games. This tied the 1972 Miami Dolphins for the most wins in a single season. However, in Super Bowl XLII, the Patriots were upset by the New York Giants 17–14. This loss prevented them from having a perfect season.

Injury and Return (2008–2009)

In the first game of the 2008 NFL season, Brady suffered a serious knee injury. He tore two ligaments and needed surgery, which ended his season early. This also ended his streak of 111 straight starts. Even without Brady, the Patriots still finished with a good 11–5 record but missed the playoffs.

Brady returned in the 2009 NFL season and showed he was still a top player. In one game, he threw five touchdowns in a single quarter, tying an NFL record. He finished the season with 4,398 passing yards and 28 touchdowns. He was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Second MVP and More Super Bowls (2010–2018)

In 2010, Brady signed a big contract extension. He became the fastest quarterback to reach 100 regular season wins. He had another amazing season, throwing for 3,900 yards with 36 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He was named the NFL MVP for the second time, this time by a unanimous vote.

In the 2011 New England Patriots season, Brady threw for a career-high 517 yards in Week 1. He also threw a record-tying 99-yard touchdown pass. He finished the season with over 5,000 passing yards. Brady led the Patriots to Super Bowl XLVI, where they again faced the New York Giants. The Patriots lost a close game 21–17, giving Brady his second Super Bowl loss.

Brady continued to lead the Patriots to success in 2012 and 2013, winning division titles. In 2014, Brady led the Patriots to another Super Bowl. In Super Bowl XLIX, he completed 37 passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns. The Patriots came back from a ten-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28–24. Brady won his fourth Super Bowl ring, tying the record for most Super Bowl wins by a starting quarterback. He also won his third Super Bowl MVP award.

Deflategate and Fifth Super Bowl (2015–2016)

In 2015, there was a controversy called "Deflategate" about footballs being deflated in a playoff game. Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL. He fought the suspension, and it was first overturned, then upheld. He eventually accepted the suspension for the start of the 2016 NFL season.

After his suspension, Brady returned and played incredibly well. He threw 28 touchdowns and only two interceptions, setting an NFL record for the best touchdown-to-interception ratio. He was named the best player in the NFL by his peers.

In the playoffs, Brady led the Patriots to Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots were losing 28–3 in the third quarter, but Brady led an incredible comeback. They scored 25 unanswered points to tie the game and force the first overtime in Super Bowl history. The Patriots won 34–28. Brady set Super Bowl records for completions (43) and passing yards (466). He won his fifth Super Bowl, setting a new record for quarterbacks, and his fourth Super Bowl MVP award.

Third MVP and Final Patriots Seasons (2017–2019)

Brady with the Patriots in 2017

In 2017, Brady continued to play at a high level. He became the oldest player to lead the league in passing yards at age 40, with 4,577 yards. He was named NFL MVP for the third time in his career. Brady led the Patriots to Super Bowl LII, their tenth Super Bowl appearance. They faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a high-scoring game. Brady threw for a Super Bowl record 505 yards and three touchdowns, but the Patriots lost 41–33. This was his third Super Bowl loss.

In 2018, Brady led the Patriots to another Super Bowl. He became the only quarterback in NFL history to reach 200 regular season wins. In Super Bowl LIII, the Patriots won 13–3 against the Los Angeles Rams in a low-scoring game. Brady won his sixth Super Bowl, becoming the first player ever to do so. He also became the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl at 41 years old.

The 2019 NFL season was Brady's last with the Patriots. He passed Brett Favre and Peyton Manning on the all-time passing yards list. The Patriots finished with a 12–4 record but lost in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs to the Tennessee Titans. On March 17, 2020, Brady announced he would not re-sign with the Patriots, ending his 20-year career in New England.

Joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Seventh Super Bowl Win (2020)

On March 20, 2020, Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was reunited with his former Patriots teammate, tight end Rob Gronkowski, who came out of retirement to join him. Brady quickly helped the Buccaneers improve. In Week 4, he threw five touchdowns in a game, becoming the oldest quarterback to do so at age 43.

Brady finished the 2020 NFL season with 4,633 passing yards and 40 touchdowns. The Buccaneers earned a wild card spot in the playoffs, which was a first for Brady's career. They won three road playoff games, including a big win against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship. This sent Brady to his record-extending tenth Super Bowl.

In Super Bowl LV, Brady and the Buccaneers faced the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns in Tampa Bay's 31–9 win. He was awarded Super Bowl MVP for the fifth time. With this victory, Brady won his seventh Super Bowl, which is more than any other player in NFL history. He also became the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with teams from different conferences.
