Tom Brady Reveals His Top Five Quarterbacks in the NFL
This past weekend at Fanatics Fest, former NFL superstar Tom Brady shared his thoughts on the current landscape of quarterbacks in the league. With a remarkable career that includes seven Super Bowl titles over 23 years, Brady’s opinions on today’s quarterbacks carry significant weight.
When asked to rank his top-five quarterbacks currently playing, Brady named five standout players, all of whom play in the AFC. His list is as follows:
- Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs)
- Josh Allen (Bills)
- Lamar Jackson (Ravens)
- Joe Burrow (Bengals)
- Aaron Rodgers (Jets)
Brady placed Mahomes at the top without much hesitation, underscoring the quarterback’s impressive ability and consistency. He then elaborated on his selections, noting how Josh Allen consistently stands out to him as a player capable of greatness. “I see Lamar Jackson, who always impresses me as a player,” Brady added, highlighting the Ravens quarterback’s unique skills.
Brady also praised Joe Burrow, saying, “He’s really impressive the way he throws the ball,” pointing out Burrow’s excellent connection with teammates. However, when it came to naming a fifth quarterback, Brady paused, and it was suggested that Aaron Rodgers deserve the spot on his list, which he accepted.
Interestingly, the former quarterback’s choices closely mirrored those of Peyton Manning, who also released his top five. The main difference in their lists was that Manning included Justin Herbert, while Brady opted for Rodgers, who is returning from an Achilles injury at the age of 40.
This ranking raises questions about the future, particularly whether Rodgers can regain his MVP form and if players like Herbert or Brock Purdy should have made the cut instead. Regardless of the debates, Brady’s insight into the top quarterbacks in the league offers an interesting perspective for fans and analysts alike.
