Tom Brady is going to obliterate the NFL records for quarterbacks in their 40s

Tom Brady is now 40 years old and one thing is clear — he is going to obliterate NFL records for quarterbacks in their 40s.

To just be a starting quarterback in the NFL is rare. For Brady to still be at the top of his game as he enters his 40s is almost unheard of.

In the history of the NFL, Brady is just the 17th quarterback to have thrown a touchdown pass after turning 40, and one of those players — George Blanda — was primarily a kicker in his 40s. Assuming Brady stays healthy this season, he should finish the year ranked either third or fourth on this list and will almost certainly be at the top by the end of the 2018 season.
