In 50 years of Super Bowl play, three quarterbacks sit at the top of the pyramid with four championships each: Pittsburgh's Terry Bradshaw, San Francisco's Joe Montana and New England's Tom Brady.

Now, Brady has a chance for a fifth ring at age 39, which is pretty amazing considering the pounding so many NFL quarterbacks take over their careers.

This is how they got here.
Tom Brady said being winning the Super Bowl isn't just great for the players involved, but special for their family, friends and fans who have supported them all season.
