Tom Brady is widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and he tops the list of players with the most Super Bowl championships to his name. Brady won a record six titles with the New England Patriots, before winning a further ring in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. The record-breaking quarterback announced his retirement from the sport for the second time in February 2023 after consecutive playoff defeats with the Bucs.
