Brady is the model of greatness at the position, and he has done this for over 20 years on the game's biggest stages. That's the repetitive mechanics, the processing both pre- and post-snap, and the ability to throw with accuracy and location. But let's not forget he has mastered the traits of high-level quarterback play. The seven championships are at the top of Brady's résumé. He has 243, more wins than four current NFL franchises (Ravens at 233, Panthers at 205, Jaguars at 180 and Texans at 139).
Stat to know: Brady is the only NFL QB with more than 200 career wins. And in his playoff starts, his teams have a 35-12 record. His teams have won fewer than 10 games in a season just once in his career, and that was two decades ago (2002). Why he's the GOAT quarterback: Brady is a seven-time Super Bowl winner in 10 trips, a three-time NFL MVP and already the league's career record holder in passing attempts, completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns.

Plus, Jeff Legwold broke down why each GOAT was chosen, and ESPN Stats & Information dove into the numbers to pick out key stats to know. We're starting here with seven offensive positions, and check out who made it for defense and special teams.Īfter we tallied the ballots and crowned each offensive position's best player of all time, our voters weighed in and explained their decisions. The goal was to narrow the field to just one GOAT at quarterback, wide receiver, edge rusher, cornerback and even kicker. We asked 50 experts, reporters and analysts to name the NFL's greatest player of all time at every position. It all got us thinking about where these legends of the game stack up all time at their respective positions. Quarterback Tom Brady was retired during the 2022 NFL offseason for just 40 days before opting to return for a 23rd season that could (maybe?) be his last, tight end Rob Gronkowski recently decided to hang them up, and defensive tackle Aaron Donald inked a massive contract extension this summer to make him the game's highest-paid non-QB after also considering retirement.
