Although there is not much debate surrounding the best quarterback of all-time at this point, The Athletic recently ranked New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at No. 2 overall as a result of the publication's latest NFL quarterback rankings. With only Green Bay Packers signal-caller Aaron Rodgers finishing above Brady on such a list, there is obviously some pretty good company at the top.

Because Brady is fresh off of yet another Super Bowl victory, the sixth of his illustrious NFL playing career, one NFL coach does not believe that his skill is diminishing with age — nor will it going forward.

“I don’t see a drop-off without a catastrophic injury or, like the great pitchers, if he loses his legs,” one NFL defensive coach recently told The Athletic in regards to Brady. “I believe he is increasing his fitness. And then he has the best footwork, the best execution of the screen pass, and if you watch the cutups of his fakes, it is like a f—ing magic act. Beyond that, I’m not sure the game has seen a competitor that exceeds him.”

Brady has now won six Super Bowl titles as a member of the Patriots, the only team that he has played for since breaking into the league almost two decades ago. While winning six titles along the way, Brady has led the Patriots to a whopping nine Super Bowl appearances as it stands today. Now well into his 40s, Brady has yet to show any signs of slowing down.
