The start of the new NFL season is right around the corner, which means the end of the annual NFL Top 100 list has drawn to a close.
As we all know, the list is compiled through player votes. The guys who take the field on Sundays are the ones who came up with the rankings.
And sure enough, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has made it to the top of the mountain.
Again.
The top-10 was released late Sunday night and once readers scrolled to the bottom, they saw a very familiar face at the No. 1 position.
NFL.com's Michael Baca wrote the following:
"Brady, the NFL’s oldest active player at 45 years old, reclaims the Top 100’s No. 1 spot for the fourth time since the list’s inception in 2011. Brady posted career-high numbers in completions (485) and passing yards (5,316) while tossing 43 touchdowns to just six interceptions in what was his 22nd season in the league.
At this point, Brady’s year-by-year stats are merely padding every all-time quarterback record he holds, but the Bucs QB continues to compete at a high level and is sure to contend for his eighth Super Bowl ring in 2022. As if he doesn’t hold enough regular-season and playoff QB records, Brady owns all Top 100 accolades since his No. 1 debut 12 seasons ago and has yet to receive a ranking lower than No. 14 (2020).
The context of Brady’s legendary career is often unfathomable and it shall continue in Year 23 following the G.O.A.T.’s 40-day long retirement this offseason."
Brady beat out Aaron Donald, Aaron Rodgers, and Cooper Kupp -the three players directly behind him, respectively- for the top spot.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has reached the ripe age of 45 as he enters his third season with the Buccaneers. But, based off last year, it doesn't look like anything is slowing him down anytime soon.
