Tom Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time since he has more Super Bowl rings than any other player or franchise in NFL history. The iconic signal-caller won the Lombardi Trophy seven times during his 23 seasons in the league.
However, firsts are always special. Brady clinched his maiden Super Bowl ring in 2002 when his New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17 at the Louisiana Superdome (now known as Caesers Superdome). At the time, Brady was only 24 and became the then-youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.
Brady completed 16 of 27 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown in the postseason finale against the Rams, who were considered the favorites to win the game. He also took home the Super Bowl MVP award for his performance in the all-important matchup.
Ben Roethlisberger broke Brady's record as the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2006 when he guided the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 21-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
