Brees, Rodgers left off NFL 100 All-Time Team
NFL Network revealed the 10 quarterbacks selected to the NFL 100 All-Time Team Friday night and active players Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers were not selected.
The starting quarterbacks for the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers were among the 24 finalists but were passed on for the final list. The reveal comes not even two weeks after Brees broke the NFL record for most career touchdown passes. Brees also owns the career passing yard record.

Rodgers was omitted despite a trophy case that includes two league MVP awards, eight Pro Bowl selections, a Super Bowl title, and a Super Bowl MVP award.
The only active quarterback to make the list was six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
