While California has produced some amazing NFL talent including Aaron Rodgers, OJ Simpson, Tony Gonzalez, and more, those names don't stand a chance against arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time in Tom Brady. Honestly, every year naysayers believe that he will begin to decline any second now but he continues to stack up wins and stay healthy. Tom Brady was selected 166th overall in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots and is still a prominent part of the team's success today.
During his second season in the league, he was called hurled on to the field following an injury to then-starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe and the Patriots haven't looked back since. As of right now, Brady has thrown 524 touchdowns, won a total of six Super Bowls, racked up four Super Bowl MVPs, three NFL Most Valuable Player Awards, and fourteen Pro-Bowl selections. Despite being 42-years-old, it looks like his reign may continue well into the 2020s. Who knows.
