Although Patrick Mahomes is rapidly ascending, Tom Brady remains the most decorated quarterback in NFL history. Brady won a record seven Super Bowl rings over his 23-year NFL career. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller won three Super Bowl rings in his first four seasons as a starter with the Patriots, in 2001, 2003 and 2004. Brady then lost two Super Bowls in 2007 and 2011 before winning his fourth in 2014. He won two more rings with the Patriots in 2016 and 2018, before bringing the Bucs a title in 2020.
