Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are three of the greatest QBs to ever sling a football. Combined, they’ve thrown for 233,269 yards (and counting, as Brady is still going strong). In case you’re wondering, that’s 132.5 miles worth of passing yardage – longer than a round-trip drive around the island of Oahu.
The terrific trio have also combined for 10 Super Bowl championships, seven Super Bowl MVP Awards and nine NFL MVP Awards.
