How many NFL records does Tom Brady hold?
Tom Brady has been in the National Football League (NFL) since 2000. At 43- years-old, he is a seven-time Super Bowl champion and, as some would say, "the greatest of all time". With that much service time and overall success, comes a lot of rewards and accolades.
Regular and postseason NFL records for Tom Brady

In terms of Super Bowls, Brady is currently the oldest NFL player to ever win the Super Bowl "Most Valuable Player," the last player to do so, himself when he was 40. Brady is also the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl and the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.
But there are more records that Brady has broken and may be considered the most important. Tom Brady currently holds the record for most game-winning drives in the NFL with 61.

But, Brady isn't done just yet. This upcoming season, Brady is within reach of ten more records that he can break. While some he might not want, such as the most times a quarterback has been sacked, others are quite accomplished.
Now that Drew Brees has retired, Brady can pass his all-time passing record. Brees' record is 80,358, Tom Brady is currently at 79,204, meaning he needs just 1,155 to break the passing record.
