Thomas Edward "Tom" Brady, Jr. is an American football  quarterback for the New England Patriots
 of the National Football League. After
 playing college football at Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the
 sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He has played in four Super
Bowls, winning three of them (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX).
 He has also won two Super Bowl MVP awards (XXXVI and XXXVIII), has been selected
to five Pro Bowls (and invited to six, although he declined the 2006 invitation),
and holds the NFL record for most touchdown passes in a single regular season.
Brady has the sixth-highest career passer rating of all time (93.3) among quarterbacks
 with at least 1,500 career passing attempts. He was named Sports Illustrated's
Sportsman of the Year in 2005. He also helped set the record for the longest consecutive
 win streak in NFL history with 21 straight wins over two seasons (2003–04).
In 2004 and 2007, Brady was named "Sportsman of the Year" by The Sporting News.
He was also named the 2007 NFL MVP, as well as 2007 Male Athlete of the Year by the
 Associated Press, the first time an NFL player has been honored since Joe Montana won in 1990.

Brady holds numerous regular season and postseason records, including most touchdown
 passes in a regular season (50), highest single-game completion percentage, regular
season or postseason (26/28, 92.9%), most completions in one Super Bowl, most completions
in Super Bowl history (career), the highest winning percentage of any quarterback ever
during his first 100 starts (76 wins), and the longest streak of games with 3 or more
touchdown passes (10 games). Brady is the fourth-fastest player to reach 200 career
passing touchdowns (116 games). He is the first quarterback in NFL history to have
reached said mark with under 100 career interceptions (he had 88 interceptions).
