No quarterback in NFL history has been more dominant than Tom Brady.

Brady officially retired (again) from professional football on Wednesday after 23 seasons in the NFL. His announcement comes nearly 21 years after his first Super Bowl appearance as a sophomore quarterback in 2002.

Brady led the New England Patriots 14 points to a stunning win over the St. Louis Rams en route to earning Super Bowl XXXVI MVP honors. Since then, the 15-time Pro Bowler has played in nine more Super Bowl games and added six more Super Bowl rings.

And while Brady’s dominance has remained constant for two decades, almost everything else has changed.
