Players who put their teams on their backs are considered to be the greatest, and by doing it time and time again, they can go down as the best player of all time. When it comes to football and the best players from the NFL, Tom Brady easily sits atop that list as one of, if not the best quarterback of all time.
Throughout Brady’s career, he’d amassed an unprecedented amount of NFL records, which he still holds to this day. So in this article, we’ll outline every NFL record held by Tom Brady, including his offensive records from playing quarterback, his ‘games played’ records, his playoff records, and all his acquired awards and accolades he still holds to this day.
Looking at Tom’s NFL offensive records, out of his 335 games played, he won 251 matches which equals a 75.4% win rate. Having the most pass completions likely stems from having the most attempts, but the likelihood that any future player (QB or not) will break 15 Pro Bowl wins with such insane comeback statistics is very low.
When it comes to clutchness, Tom Brady is a master of the craft. He holds the NFL record for most playoff wins (and games started) with once again the most passing yards, touchdowns, and completions. Not only that, but throw in 7 Super Bowl titles out of 10 appearances with 5 MVP trophies, most game-winning drives, and most fourth-quarter comebacks, and statistics like these will never be beaten unless a young prodigy starts crunching impressive numbers at a very young age.
Brady did most of his NFL terrorizing for the New England Patriots, where he’d effectively be inducted as the best all-time Patriots Hall of Famer, adding him to the Patriots 2000s All-Decade team, the 2010s All-Decade Team, and the Patriots All-Dynasty team. To get there, he’d have to win 5 separate NFL MVP trophies, earning himself NFL passing leader 4 times and NFL passing touchdown leader 5 times while being one of the very few to make the NFL 2000s and 2010 All-Decade team, truly a remarkable feat. For future quarterbacks or other players to break records like these, they would need to follow in the footsteps similar to Brady’s at a very young age and maintain consistency for over 2 decades of playing.
