Overview
- Tom Brady said on the Stick to Football podcast that “there’s no greater passer of the football than Aaron Rodgers,” praise first widely reported on Thursday, June 25, 2026.
- Brady singled out Rodgers’s mechanics, citing how the ball comes out of his hand, the spin, the pace and the accuracy as reasons he sees Rodgers as the best pure thrower.
- Rodgers enters the season with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a four-time NFL MVP and among the NFL’s career leaders in passing yards and touchdowns, which sources say adds weight to Brady’s comment.
- Coverage framed Brady’s view against his own seven Super Bowl rings and a 4-2 head-to-head record with Rodgers, underlining the recurring contrast between championships and raw throwing ability.
- The remark has drawn broad media amplification and is likely to focus attention on Rodgers’s upcoming season and whether late-career performance changes legacy assessments.
