Tom Brady might be the greatest athlete ever after winning seventh Super Bowl title

Tom Brady has now won more Super Bowls than every single NFL team and has more titles than Michael Jordan. We smell a GOAT. 

He's now won more Super Bowls than every single NFL team and has more titles than Michael Jordan.

Tom Brady has well and truly entered the conversation as one of the greatest athletes ever after dominating in Tampa Bay's 31-9 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 55.

The victory over a team that lost just twice all season gave Brady his seventh Super Bowl - one more than his old team the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He was superb, putting the Chiefs to the sword with a historic first half. Brady completed more than 80 per cent of passes and threw three touchdowns in the first two quarters - something no quarterback had done in Super Bowl history.

Up 21-6 against a man most consider the best current player in the game Pat Mahomes, he controlled proceedings expertly from that point as the Bucs cruised home.

The biggest question mark over Brady's greatness had been how much of his success with the Patriots was down to coach Bill Belichick and the players and system built around him.

But after leaving New England for Tampa and winning it all again - at age 43 - there is no doubt Brady is the greatest player his sport has ever seen and he deserves to be mentioned alongside the likes of Jordan and Muhammad Ali.

Sports columnist Ian O'Connor tweeted: "In the GOAT vs GOAT debate, if you want to say Tom Brady can never surpass Michael Jordan because Brady isn’t on the same planet athletically, that’s a fair argument. And if you want to say Brady has now surpassed MJ on body of work & achievement, that’s a fair argument too."

This is literally like if Michael Jordan won a title with the Wizards.

Brady is a bigger GOAT than Jordan.

I said it. #SuperBowl

If I had one athlete to save us from aliens, I go Michael Jordan.

If I had one athlete to win a game with 2 min left, I go Tom Brady.

If I just need a win & species doesn’t matter, I go Secretariat.
