And Tom Brady will have played in 67.16% of them. If one counts the byes as games as well, then it would be 58/80, or 72.5%.

With the quarterback set to appear on the grandest stage in football yet again, it’ll make it 10 Tom Brady appearances in a total of 53 Super Bowl games. That’s nearly 19% of all Super Bowls ever played.
