Most touchdown passes in NFL history: Tom Brady becomes the first player to throw 700 TD passes
Tom Brady is quite literally a freak of nature. No quarterback in the history of the NFL has thrown as many touchdown passes as Brady, and he is doing this all at the age of 44. Few quarterbacks have even played into the years that Brady currently is, setting records left and right.
There are still four games left in the regular season and plenty of time for Brady to continue climbing this list.
With both postseason and regular-season TDs combined, Tom Brady has thrown 700 TD passes. Here are the top five quarterbacks with the most touchdowns in the regular season and playoffs.
Which quarterback is near Tom Brady in total career touchdowns?
#5 - Aaron Rodgers - 484 TDs and counting
Even though Aaron Rodgers is one of the most capable passers in the entire NFL, he still has a bit to go when catching up with the leaders on this list, including Tom Brady. Rodgers currently has 439 regular-season TD passes, a number that is undoubtedly going to increase over the rest of the 2021 season.
If I had to vote today, Aaron Rodgers is my MVP. Some say “he has weapons,” I guess because MVS catches a 50-yd TD every few weeks. After Davante, his top receiver is an RB and a 31-yr-old slot WR. No one does more with less than Rodgers. https://t.co/hV2nwKUYsO
Rodgers also holds 45 playoff touchdowns, nearly half of what Brady has. Should the Packers make the playoffs, which is primarily a certainty, he will somewhat catch up to Brady's numbers. Both are known to be touchdown machines.
#4 - Brett Favre - 552 TDs
Brett Favre is another legendary quarterback who has thrown a ridiculous number of touchdowns in his time in the NFL. Favre did most of his work with the Packers before being replaced by the aforementioned Aaron Rodgers. Still, Favre is one of the all-time greats at the quarterback position. Favre ended his career with 508 regular-season TDs.
That number was further blown up by 44 playoff touchdowns, putting his total number at 552. On top of losing his job to Rodgers, Favre has also lost his playoff touchdown count by one to Rodgers.
