It's hard to disagree with the notion that Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all-time.

Brady is a seven-time Super Bowl champion (most all-time), and is the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards (89,214), passing touchdowns (649), completions (7,753), wins (251), playoff wins (35), division titles (19), among a long list of records for both the regular season and playoffs.

Brady's longevity is one of the most impressive parts of his legendary career. He won his first Super Bowl with the New England Patriots after taking over the starting job in 2001, and would go on to bring five more championships to New England. The San Mateo, California native would lift his seventh and final Lombardi trophy in 2020 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at age 43.

While Brady is far and away the most successful quarterback in football history, debate rages on about whether he is the most talented player the position has ever seen.

Brady himself has now weighed in on the discussion, designating one of his top rivals as "the greatest passer of the football the league's ever seen."

Tom Brady Names the 'Greatest Passer' in NFL History

In a recent interview with Pro Football Focus' Chris Collinsworth, Brady made his pick for the greatest passer in NFL history, naming Aaron Rodgers as the most accurate quarterback in the sport.

"He could get the ball from Point A to B faster and more accurate than any player I think in the history of the NFL," Brady told Collinsworth.

Brady specifically pointed to Rodgers' 2011 season as his prime, when he won his first MVP award, just one year removed from leading the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl.

The California product threw for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns while leading the NFL in passer rating (122.5) and QBR (83.8) -- a single-season record that still stands today.

Brady and Rodgers only faced each other five times in the regular season, with Brady winning three of those meetings. The GOAT also prevailed in the only playoff matchup between the two, when the Buccaneers beat the Packers in the 2021 NFC Championship Game.

Rodgers is now getting set to play his 21st NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers at 41 years old. The four-time NFL MVP has looked like a shell of his old self in recent years, but will hope to stay healthy and put together one final strong season to put a cherry on a remarkable NFL career.
