Tom Brady has many NFL records to his name: Super Bowl champ. Regular-season wins, passing yards, passing touchdowns and regular-season starts are the most notable of his Hall of Fame resume. And now he has one more.
Brady became the first player in NFL history to reach 100,000 career passing yards (including season playoffs).
Here is a list of the top five passing leaders in NFL history (including the playoffs):
With this milestone, Brady has thrown 56.82 miles in his career. That was in 24 years, he won seven Super Bowls and never had a worse season than 9-7.
Brady hasn’t had a typical Brady season, and entering Week 9, he completed 65.9 percent of his passes for 2,267 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 1 interception (92.4 rating).
Brady’s season didn’t go as planned, but reaching 100,000 yards is an incredible feat. The next closest active quarterback to 100,000 yards is Matt Ryan (64,415 yards), but he was benched by the Indianapolis Colts last week. Aaron Rodgers was close behind with 63,054.
For those wondering, Patrick Mahomes ranks 87th with 24,531 passing yards.
