Even more than the seven Super Bowl wins, Tom Brady’s greatest accomplishment might be playing in the NFL at a high level well into his forties.
His ability to extend his shelf life in a career that chews up professional athletes and spits them out at an average of three years is otherworldly. It’s so impressive that other athletes have attempted to model his health and nutrition to prolong their careers.
Longtime sports commentator Trey Wingo summed up Brady’s longevity perfectly by posting a side-by-side picture of the legendary quarterback’s first video game model in comparison to his last one in the NFL.

Who is old enough to remember gawking over the graphical prowess of the block model video game characters?
The graphical comparison between Brady’s NCAA character model from his time in Michigan to his final one in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is stunning.
It’s rarified greatness that will never be seen again.
