Dating back to his ascendant playoff showing in 2001, Tom Brady, now 39 years old, has won five Super Bowls quarterbacking the Patriots. Entering Sunday, it was four. But Brady led the Patriots to an unbelievable comeback win over the Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Brady led the Pats to wins in Super Bowls XXXVI (2002), XXXVIII (2004), XXXIX (2005), XLIX (2015) and LI (2017), winning MVP four of five times (his receiver Deion Branch won the other in XXXIX). The quarterback holds nearly every major Super Bowl record for a quarterback.
He is one of only two players to win five Super Bowls (the other being Charles Haley), the only quarterback to win five and the only player to win them all playing for one team. After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. In Brady's 15 seasons as a starter, he has quarterbacked the Patriots to seven Super Bowl appearances, the most for any player in history.
