BRADY AND THE GREATEST QBS OF ALL TIME (CAREER HIGHLIGHTS)

It didn’t takemuch time for Brady tobegin establishing himself as one of the all-time greats to have played the quarterback position. Here’s a summary of his important statistics: • 5,629 career passes completed for a career pass completion percentage of 63.9% (4th all-time) behind Brett Favre who completed 6,300 passes for his twenty NFL seasons with Atlanta, Green Bay, New York Jets, and Minnesota Vikings. • 8,805 career passes attempted (4th all-time) behind Brett Favre (10,169 pass attempts), Peyton Manning (9,380 pass attempts), and Drew Brees (9,294 pass attempts) in his career. • 66,159 career passing yards (4th all-time) behind Peyton Manning (71,940 yards), Brett Favre (71,838 yards), and Drew Brees (70,445 yards). • 488 career passing touchdowns (T-3rd all-time with Drew Brees); Peyton Manning threw 539 touchdowns for his career and Brett Favre ranks 2nd all-time with 508 touchdowns thrown. • 97.6%career passer rating (3rd all-time); Two active players, AaronRodgers (103.8%) and Russell Wilson (98.8%) have a higher career passer rating than Tom Brady. Brady does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon, meaning that he has the potential to lead each of the top statistical categories for QBs before the end of his time in the NFL.
