Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes

The world of professional American football is constantly in motion. It changes all the time, and teams and players who were on the bottom last season quickly find themselves at the top of the game. Even in all of this chaos, there are certain players that are dependable and consistently play at the highest level in the sport. Amongst the many amazing quarterbacks in the NFL, these three stand out as the absolute best of the best.

Tom Brady Biography

Tom Brady is a quarterback that every player looks up to. At this stage in his career, Brady has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in the sport of football. He is widely considered to be the greatest quarterback of all time, and has more Super Bowl Championships than anyone else with 7. He spent the majority of his career with the New England Patriots, the team that drafted him in 2000. Before the 2020-2021 season he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he currently resides.

Current Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Current Quarterback Ranking: #1

Brady has been ranked in the top 3 quarterbacks for most of his career. While he has had some off years, he has always played at the highest level. After his departure from the New England Patriots in 2020, the league was unsure if this was the end of an era. Would either the Patriots or Brady ever be good again after this divorce?

After a steady but unconvincing regular season, Brady and the Buccaneers entered the playoffs. Here they took it all the way to the championship, winning Brady his 7th Super Bowl ring. After this most recent Super Bowl victory on February 7, 2021, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely have the best NFL betting odds available in their matchups for the remainder of Brady’s career. There are no doubters left in the NFL after this recent performance.
