Among many of his record-setting feats this year, one of the less-known accomplishments is that Tom Brady became just the second NFL QB to go to a new team and win a Super Bowl in that same year.

The only other QB to achieve the feat was Trent Dilfer with the Ravens during the 2001 season, though in a much different situation as he began the season as a backup and took over as the starter mid-season.

In addition to being the fastest to win a Super Bowl with a new team, Brady also holds the record for a Super Bowl victory with the longest tenure with his team. Brady won the 2018 Super Bowl in his 19th season with the Patriots — the longest tenure with a team for a Super Bowl winning QB.

Below is the list of Super Bowl winning QBs sorted by shortest to longest tenure with their team at the time of the Super Bowl.
