There’s not long to go now until the Kansas City Chiefs meet the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII. The NFL Championship decider is expected to be one of the finest spectacles in recent years.
The league’s finest quarterbacks have all tasted success on the biggest stage. However, it’s not just the younger stars who can boast winning a Super Bowl ring.
Over the years, a number of ‘golden oldies’ have all gone on to win the NFL Championship. Here at SportsLens, it got us thinking…
Who are the oldest quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl? Let’s take a closer look at the top ten oldest winning quarterbacks of all-time.
The Oldest Quarterback To Win The Super Bowl
Unsurprisingly, the oldest quarterback to win the Super Bowl is Tom Brady. The New England Patriots legend is widely regarded as the best quarterback of all-time.
Brady was 43-years-old when he won Super Bowl LV in 2021. At the time, he was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Not only is he the oldest winning QB ever, he holds the record for second and (joint) third positions as well. Both of those victories came when he was playing for the Patriots.
Alongside Brady in third position is Peyton Manning. They are the two oldest quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl. Age is quite literally just a number for these two!
