Tom Brady is more than just a player. He is a phenomenon. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is set to play his 10th Super Bowl game tonight. The most by any player in NFL history.

And with Brady being the serial winner that he is, it’s no wonder he’s converted six of his previous nine Super Bowl appearances into victories. Playing in as many Super Bowl games as he has, Brady is now chasing ring #7.

And in a career spanning across two decades, it’s not that Brady had one isolated period of success. The quarterback has been performing at the highest level for years now. And though now in his 40s, Brady is showing no signs of slowing down.

The only two other times that this feat was achieved was back in Super Bowl LII and Super LIII. Both by Tom Brady.

Brady had his fair share of nay-sayers when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier in the offseason. Finally moving on from the team that drafted him back in 2000, the New England Patriots, many believed that Brady would fail to replicate the success he achieved with the Patriots.
