44-year old Tom Brady silenced all his doubters in 2020 after signing with Tampa Bay Bay Buccaneers in the offseason. The 3-time NFL MVP departed New England Patriots after two decades in search of a new challenge. After a shaky start to his career in Florida, Brady led the Bucs to their second-ever Super Bowl title earlier this year.
In doing so, Bruce Arians’ boys became the first team in NFL history to win a Lombardi Trophy in front of home fans. Veteran quarterback Tom Brady now has 7 Super Bowl rings to his name, more than any other organization as a whole (New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers both have 6 each).
