How old was Tom Brady when he won his first Super Bowl? Revisiting NFL legend's first big victory

Tom Brady's first Super Bowl victory came in 2002. Throughout the course of his 23-year NFL career, he added six more titles and countless more honors to cement his place in the league's history books.

In 2002, Tom Brady made his first Super Bowl outing and drove the New England Patriots to success at the young age of 24. New England beat the St. Louis Rams 20–17 in that exciting game. The quarterback earned his first Super Bowl MVP title after completing 16 throws for 145 yards and one touchdown.

Although the record has since been surpassed, he was notable for being the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl at the time.

In the 2003 season, two years after winning his first Lombardi Trophy, Brady led the Patriots to yet another Super Bowl triumph at the age of 26. Brady was once again voted the Super Bowl MVP after throwing for an incredible 354 yards and a trio of touchdowns in the game against the Carolina Panthers, which helped New England win 32-29.

Brady did, in fact, end up winning seven Super Bowls throughout his career, the most of any player in NFL history. It's also more than any other NFL franchise has ever won. In addition, he has won more Super Bowl MVP honors than any other player in the Big Game's history with five.

Brady's announcement of his NFL retirement in February 2023 marked the end of one of the most legendary sports careers in history.
