No quarterback in the history of the NFL has become more dominant than Tom Brady.
Brady made his first Super Bowl appearance as a second-year quarterback in 2002. Only days after officially getting the nod to start under center, he led the 14-point underdog New England Patriots into a magnificent victory over the St. Louis Rams en route to making Super Bowl XXXVI MVP honors.
Ever since then, the 14-time Pro Bowler has made it to nine more Super Bowl games and won six Super Bowl rings. And while Brady’s dominance has stayed constant over the last 19 decades, practically everything else has changed in this period.
