Heading into his 19th season in the league, New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady has seen his name be pushed into the conversation of being regarded not just the best quarterback of all-time, but the greatest player the league has seen.

However, Brady stated during a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Winfrey Network that it is a label that is pushed on him that he feels uncomfortable being having tossed his way (h/t Henry McKenna of Patriots Wire).

“I don’t like it,” Brady told Oprah in an interview that aired on Oprah Winfrey Network on Sunday. “I don’t like when people say it. I don’t feel that way. I’m not attached to that feeling. I don’t care whether people feel that or not. I want to be the best I can be. I know when I go out there it’s not to compare myself to this guy or that guy.

Although the 40-year-old doesn't like being called the greatest of all-time, his resume, that speaks for itself, will certainly continue to throw him in that category.

Brady is one of the most decorated quarterbacks in league history with numerous NFL records to his name. He remains the only player at his position with five Super Bowl wins, four Super Bowl MVP awards, and nine trips to the grandest single game in sports.

In many ways, this has elevated himself past some of the game's best to do it, namely Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and John Elway, in the eyes of many of his peers and past NFL players.

What has been most remarkable is that he has been able to continue to defy Father Time as he's coming off one of the best seasons of his career in his 18th campaign—leading to his third NFL MVP award. He has also shown any unwavering in his desire to continue playing with eyes focused on remaining under center through his mid-40s.

Brady may not choose to acknowledge where he stands in league history, but he's put together an illustrious career that will land him one day in Canton, Ohio, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
