Bucs quarterback Tom Brady has achieved history and done something no pro quarterback has ever done before – and likely won’t ever do again. Against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Brady hit 100,000 career passing yards in the NFL, including the postseason. Brady came into the game needing 164 passing yards to reach that milestone and accomplished that in the fourth quarter.

In his 23 years in the league he had thrown for 86,787 yards in the regular season before Sunday’s game, in addition to 13,049 yards in the postseason.

“I think for me it’s a credit to all the guys that I’ve played with, and who have blocked for me, who have caught passes,” Brady said. “I think all those things are a great celebration to all those guys. I think I can’t do [anything] in this league without guys doing what they are amazing at, too. I’m very fortunate to play with great players, people who catch the football, great coaches, and being down here has been an amazing experience for me. Playing with Mike [Evans] and Chris [Godwin], and that’s why I came here, because of guys like that. I played with Gronk (Rob Gronkowski) all those years. Obviously I could name every player that I’ve played with and how meaningful they are to my life and what they’ve contributed in terms of the memories I have from this sport. So I feel like these are all…they’re great achievements, but for as much as people want to say, ‘Oh, this is what Tom Brady did,’ in my mind this is what myself and all these other people who have contributed to my life have done as well.”

When asked if he thought he would be in this position back in 2000 when his NFL career started, Brady said: “I think everybody would have said we’re crazy, including me. The fact that I’m still playing 23 years in is pretty…you know, it’s something that I love to do, and I’ve always enjoyed playing and the competition of this sport. So yeah, all these kinds of lifetime achievement awards, they’re great to celebrate with everyone and one day I’ll look back and think that it was pretty cool, although my kids probably won’t care at all. That’s alright. It’s a credit to all the people that I’ve played with. Thank you.”

Brady laughed when asked if he told Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans not to give the ball away once he reaches that milestone.

“Put out an APB (all-points bulletin) or something like that to all the offensive guys?” Brady said. “Yeah, I mean those things are…I’ll probably keep my jersey. I’ve been keeping more of those lately. But whatever happens, happens. It’s just a football.”

Brady also entered Sunday’s game needing 13 completions to be the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 7,500 completions in a career. That was a record he also hit in the first half of the Bucs vs. Rams game.
