Tom Brady voted No. 1 player in NFL
Some things never change.
For the 12th-straight year, NFL players vote on who they believe are the best 100 players in the NFL. Former Michigan great, Tom Brady, has been voted No. 1 by his peers three times entering the 2022 season.
Brady just made that four times being voted No. 1 in the NFL.
When the top 10 players were announced on Sunday night, Tom Brady, now 45 years old, sat on top of the list again.
Brady, the NFL’s oldest active player at 45 years old, reclaims the Top 100’s No. 1 spot for the fourth time since the list’s inception in 2011. Brady posted career-high numbers in completions (485) and passing yards (5,316) while tossing 43 touchdowns to just six interceptions in what was his 22nd season in the league. At this point, Brady’s year-by-year stats are merely padding every all-time quarterback record he holds, but the Bucs QB continues to compete at a high level and is sure to contend for his eighth Super Bowl ring in 2022. As if he doesn’t hold enough regular-season and playoff QB records, Brady owns all Top 100 accolades since his No. 1 debut 12 seasons ago and has yet to receive a ranking lower than No. 14 (2020). The context of Brady’s legendary career is often unfathomable and it shall continue in Year 23 following the G.O.A.T.’s 40-day long retirement this offseason.
While Brady did ‘retire’ for 40 days, he did decide that he needed football in his life again, so Brady will be entering a staggering 23rd year in the NFL. He did lose his teammate Rob Gronkowski to retirement, but the Bucs have so many weapons for Brady to make a run at his eighth Super Bowl ring.
Brady and Tampa Bay begin their season on Sunday Night Football, Sept. 11 on NBC against the Dallas Cowboys.
Brady was the only Michigan player voted in the top 100 by current players.
