The veteran quarterback is having a terrific first season with the Bucs; they are playing in the biggest game of the season after just one campaign with the 43-year-old and this could become a trend if their star remains active for the next couple of years.
TB12 has become an institution in the NFL and his Super Bowl appearances are the biggest proof of that. You can say he is a dynasty himself and a lot of people would agree. It’s time to check how Brady became the successful and honored player he is right now by taking a look at all his participation in the Super Bowl.

Brady has played in four more Super Bowls than the second-ranked players on this list. Mike Lodish and Stephen Gostkowski, who happened to play with Brady, played in six SBs each. The quarterback who plays in more Super Bowls than Brady is John Elway with 5.
