List of every NFL QB to win a Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is a legacy game for quarterbacks as a good career paired with a Lombardi Trophy or two is often the key to a fast track to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Patrick Mahomes has taken that advice to heart, racking up three Super Bowl titles in his first seven years as a starter with a chance to win a fourth on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. He'd be a first-ballot Hall of Famer if his career ended today, and he's still got a long way to go before he hangs up the spikes.
Mahomes will be facing off against Jalen Hurts, a quarterback hoping to find his way onto the list of those who have won a Super Bowl, and a stout Eagles team. Philadelphia not only has an elite offense with Hurts and Saquon Barkley leading the way, but the Eagles happen to have a defense which allowed the second-fewest points per game during the regular season.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the list of quarterbacks Hurts is looking to join.

The list of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks is quite long as 34 different passers have won the big game. Tom Brady leads the pack with seven titles, three clear of any other quarterback, while only 13 have won more than one title. Of those 13, nine are in the Hall of Fame, two are not yet eligible (Brady and Ben Roethlisberger) while two others (Jim Plunkett and Eli Manning) haven't been inducted.
Mahomes is attempting to tie both Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana for second on the all-time list with a win on Sunday, as stunning as that might be. He is shooting for his fourth Super Bowl win before even reaching 30 years old, with only Brady in front of him. Brady's record of seven Super Bowl wins felt untouchable from the moment he got his seventh win, but with the way things are going in Kansas City, it'd be pretty surprising if Mahomes didn't at the very least get very close to Brady, if not surpass him.
Youngest QBs to Win the Super Bowl
Name | Team | Age | Super Bowl |
|---|---|---|---|
Ben Roethlisberger | Pittsburgh Steelers | 23 Years, 11 Months, 3 Days | XL |
Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 24 Years, 4 Months, 16 Days | LIV |
Tom Brady | New England Patriots | 24 Years, 6 Months | XXXVI |
Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 25 Years, 2 Months, 4 Days | XLVIII |
Joe Namath | New York Jets | 25 Years, 8 Months, 14 Days | III |
The youngest passer to ever win the Super Bowl is Roethlisberger, who was just 23 years old when he helped the Steelers win Super Bowl XL in his second year as a pro. Four of the five youngest quarterbacks to win the big game did so after 2000, with Joe Namath's Super Bowl III triumph with the Jets a notable exception. Mahomes was just five months younger than Roethlisberger when he won his first.
Oldest QBs to Win the Super Bowl
Name | Team | Age | Super Bowl |
|---|---|---|---|
Tom Brady | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 43 | LV |
Tom Brady | New England Patriots | 41 | LIII |
Peyton Manning | Denver Broncos | 39 | 50 |
Tom Brady | New England Patriots | 39 | LI |
Earl Morrall | Miami Dolphins | 38 | VII |
It's no shock to see Brady three times in the oldest quarterbacks list, which features four winners in the past 10 Super Bowls. The fifth name here is Earl Morrall, who helped cap off Miami's perfect 14-0 season with a victory in Super Bowl VII. Mahomes is nowhere near joining this exclusive list, but would anyone be surprised if he found himself on it at some point in the next decade?
