Retired quarterback Drew Brees is the closest player to Brady in that category, with 85,724 yards.
Brady passed for 280 yards in Tampa Bay's Week 9 win over the Los Angeles Rams and is now up to 2,547 yards through nine games in 2022. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has racked up 87,067 regular-season passing yards throughout his career to go along with 13,049 yards in the playoffs.
The 45-year-old totaled 85,959 yards during his 20-year stint with the New England Patriots before joining the Bucs in 2020. He's thrown for 14,157 yards with Tampa Bay.
On Sunday, Brady also orchestrated the 55th game-winning drive of his career, passing Peyton Manning for most in NFL history.
