There are still echoes of last Sunday’s Super Bowl, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers swept the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Tom Brady on fire which days later continues to give something to talk about throughout the world. And how not to do it! If the well-known quaterback is close to becoming the best athlete in history.
At 43 years old, an age at which many athletes have already passed the prime of their careers, Tom Brady continues to exude talent and add awards to his record.
The Californian athlete is the first quarterback to surpass 200 victories and win the Super Bowl in three different decades. This 2021 was his seventh victory in these competitions. In addition, he won his fifth Super Bowl MVP.
Additionally, along with Peyton Manning, he is the only starting quarterback who has won the Vince Lombardi with two different franchises, first with the New England Patriots and now with the Buccaneers.
If we go back to his age, Brady is the first NFL player to win the ring over 40 years old, placing himself in a very short list of athletes who won a title at that age in the Major Leagues.
Specialized media highlight their performance with the comparison of the NFL and other sports leagues such as the NBA and MLB. In this sense, by being selected MVP for the 5th time, Brady breaks ties with LeBron James in the number of these distinctions, and is only surpassed by Michael Jordan, another legend of world sports.
This seventh NFL championship ring reaffirms him as the best player in the history of this sport and opens the doors to a room in which only the best athletes of all time appear. And there are already those who debate whether the Californian quaterback has already beaten all of these as well.
