After the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl by a score of 13-3, it officially made Tom Brady the oldest quarterback ever to win one. Before him, Peyton Manning was the oldest at 39 years old, John Elway at 38, and Johnny Unitas at 37.

The amount of sustained success Brady has had in the Super Bowl is simply awe-inspiring. The now six-time Super Bowl champion has one of the best careers of any quarterback ever.
Even though Brady only threw for 262 yards on 21-of-35 throwing and an interception, Brady was able to lead the charge for the Patriots. The Rams have one of the most dangerous front sevens in the league, and it didn't even phase him. He was able to hit his check downs and keep calm. With the Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald breathing down his neck, it's quite impressive indeed.
Many have wondered if Brady will hang up his cleats after this Super Bowl win. He's spoken about in the past that he would like to play until he's at least 45.
However, his athleticism has become non-existent. He doesn't leave the pocket anymore and his arm isn't as snappy. He may take this win and finish his career on a high note.
Even if he does, Brady is one of the most decorated football players of all-time. Perhaps even one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Many already consider him the greatest quarterback ever. With another championship under his belt, it's just the cherry on top of a wonderful career in the NFL.
