As the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons prepare for Super Bowl LI, get ready for kickoff with Pro Football Focus’ visual preview of the game.
The PFF analysis team has graded every snap taken by every NFL player since the 2006 season. With that incredible breadth of data collected, our team has seen some exceptional Super Bowl performances by quarterbacks. In the PFF era (since that 2006 season), here are the highest-graded Super Bowl outings by QBs thus far.
One of the quickest things to notice—especially given the two teams facing off this Sunday—is the absence of Tom Brady among the five top-graded QBs in that span, having played in three Super Bowls over that period.
