What Brady has accomplished throughout his career, spent primarily with the New England Patriots and then the Buccaneers, has never been seen before, and chances are, it never will be seen again. Brady was able to constantly win in a league that is built for parity, and in the process, he managed to make almost every key NFL passing record his own.

There's no doubt that Brady will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and even if you hate him, you cannot deny his status as the greatest football player to ever grace the NFL. This list of accomplishments alone makes for quite a resume, and this doesn't even scratch the surface of what Brady achieved during his career. It has been public knowledge for quite some time, but Brady will leave the NFL as its undisputed GOAT.
