Brady’s Return Lands Him Among Oldest to Ever Play

Tom Brady has been defying the odds of aging for quite some time, and with his most recent return, the veteran quarterback will now be one of the oldest ever to play at any position.

Brady, who's draft day slide and subsequent rise to the pinnacle of the sport are well chronicled, will return this season for what will be his 22nd pro campaign.

Brady will turn 45 in August, unretired earlier this offseason and will rejoin the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Fall.
