Tom Brady is 39 years old and just completed one of his best seasons ever with a win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51 on Sunday.
Brady now has five Super Bowl wins, the most ever for a quarterback, and shows no signs of slowing down.
In other words, Brady just claimed the title of GOAT, the greatest of all time.
Brady's amazing career began in April 2000, when the Patriots famously rolled the dice and drafted the Michigan quarterback in the sixth round with the 199th pick overall. New England made the move despite Brady being thoroughly unimpressive at the NFL combine.
Six other teams drafted quarterbacks before the Patriots chose Brady. Here's a look at what happened to those other quarterbacks.
The Jets used the 18th pick on Marshall University quarterback Chad Pennington.
