Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL after 22 incredible seasons, establishing the greatest career in NFL history. Brady won seven Super Bowl titles in his tenure with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the most by any player in NFL history and more Super Bowl titles than any franchise. In addition to Brady's seven Super Bowl titles, his five Super Bowl MVP's are the most in NFL history. Brady has the most passing yards and passing touchdowns in league history, along with the most quarterback wins and Pro Bowl selections in league history. Brady is the only player to win a NFL title in three different decades and is the only starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different franchises in each conference (Peyton manning is the only other starting quarterback to win Super Bowls with two different teams). Brady's career is something to awe at, as he arguably is the greatest player in NFL history. Let's take an incredible look back at his career in this special edition of "By The Numbers." Brady spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, making them an iconic franchise in the NFL. New England built a model of sustained success thanks to Brady, capturing the most Super Bowl championships in league history and making the playoffs in all but one season Brady started more than one game. The Patriots were the definition of consistency with Brady at the helm, a franchise fortunate to employ him for two decades. Take a look at how good Brady was in his career with the Patriots (not counting his last two years with the Buccaneers). Brady's career with the Patriots is unlike the NFL has ever seen. His six Super Bowl titles with New England are tied with Herb Adderley, Fuzzy Thurston, and Forrest Gregg for the most championships by a player in NFL history. The Patriots -- in turn -- have six Super Bowl titles and nine Super Bowl appearances with Brady, the most in NFL history (New England has 11 total Super Bowl appearances, while Pittsburgh has the second most with eight). Brady has won three NFL MVP awards and four Super Bowl MVP awards with New England (has five Super Bowl MVP awards overall). He's the only player in NFL history to throw for more than 70,000 yards and 500 touchdowns with one franchise. As for the Super Bowl, Brady was just on another level. What Brady was able to do in the Super Bowl was unlike the league has ever seen. Most Super Bowl starts (quarterback)What has made Brady's resume even more incredible is his success after turning 37 years old. Brady started five Super Bowls since turning 37 (he's 4-1 in those starts), which is more starts than all but one quarterback has throughout his entire career in NFL history (Elway). Brady has started three Super Bowls since turning 40, one more than Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees combined to play in their entire careers. Since Brady has double the amount of Super Bowl starts as any other quarterback, it's not surprising he dominates the top of many Super Bowl passing statistics. Let's take a look at how dominant Brady has been in the Super Bowl. Most pass completions in Super Bowl history (career)

Brady is technically tied with Otto Graham for the most championships with seven, as Graham won four straight in the All-American Football Conference with the Cleveland Browns from 1946 to 1949. Only three of those championships count as NFL titles (the Browns joined the NFL in 1950). Graham played in a championship game in all 10 of his professional football seasons, the same amount as Brady -- and the most for a starting quarterback in NFL history. Finally, Brady holds or shares 40 NFL records. Here's an incredible list of all of them: Tom Brady's NFL records
