What was the age of Tom Brady when he won his first Super Bowl? Was he once the youngest NFL QB to win a Super Bowl? Where does he stand now on that list?
New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady in 2000, and in 2002 Brady led the team to their first Super Bowl win. Brady was 24 years and 184 days old when he won his first Super Bowl ring. He became the youngest quarterback to achieve this feat, leaving behind the NFL legends Joe Namath and Joe Montana.
In 2002, the Patriots played against the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl game and defeated them by 20-17. Brady, in that season, threw for 2,843 yards with 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. In 2001, he played his first season as a starting quarterback and started 14 out of 15 games.
