Tom Brady — the name speaks for itself. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star was the face of the league for over two decades during his 23-year career before hanging his cleats in February 2023.
Colorado standout and projected top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Travis Hunter, spoke about his love for TB12 and mentioned why he thinks Brady is the only No. 1 of all time.

Travis Hunter Names Tom Brady as His NFL GOAT
Over the years, there has been debate about Brady’s spot on the GOAT list. Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been making noise with three Super Bowl rings already in just eight years in the NFL. A long journey is left ahead; however, many believe he is on the path to potentially surpass Brady at one point.
Regardless, Brady still wins the hearts of many as the undisputed leader reigning on the throne as the greatest of the greatest. Hunter, who was speaking to Darius Sanders during an interview, mentioned that Brady was his GOAT pick.
“Who is the best QB of all time?” Hunter asked. “It’s Tom Brady. … I can tell you he’s the greatest quarterback of all time because people hated him. If your team was playing Tom Brady, like, ‘Oh my God, man. I hate Tom Brady. He always winning.'”

“He always found a way to win … every team that played Tom Brady, bruh, their fans was hating on him. It was hard to beat him, bro,” he added.
Brady’s career saw him fall on the biggest stage multiple times; however, the veteran star managed to come out of adversity and prove haters wrong at every turn. His last and final Super Bowl win against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021 came big time in his first year in Tampa, Fla., after he parted ways with Robert Kraft and New England.
For Hunter, it will be a new beginning in the pros. He enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the top prospects and is expected to go off the board early, something even Brady did not have the pleasure to accomplish.
