The 2021 NFL draft<\/a> saw two AFC East teams, the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, select quarterbacks with their first-round picks. These picks gave hope and brought excitement to these two fan bases but it may have made another team in the division smile as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, the Patriots dominated the AFC East because they had possibly the greatest quarterback of all time in Tom Brady. Meanwhile, none of the other teams in the division could find a reliable starter. Brady is now in Tampa Bay and, with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen the longest-tenured passer in the division, the Bills finally know how the Patriots used to feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Brady put together a legendary career in New England. The sixth-round NFL draft pick<\/a> threw for 74,571 yards and 541 regular-season touchdowns and added another 11,388 yards and 73 touchdowns in the playoffs. More importantly, he won the AFC East 17 times in 20 seasons on his way to six Super Bowl trophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an unprecedented run of dominance over a group of primary opponents only rivaled by the Harlem Globetrotters. These winning ways came through talent on the field, great coaching, and smart personnel moves. It also helped that the rest of the division was hapless at the most important position on the football field for almost two full decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
