Tom Brady (Finally) Rushes For 1,000 Yards In His Career

FOXBORO, MA — A QB sneak here, a slow scramble there, and 19 years into his career, Tom Brady has done it.

The notoriously slow-footed quarterback reached 1,000 career rushing yards Sunday in the first quarter against Minnesota. Brady, 41, took off for a 5-yard gain, sliding feet first after getting his team a first down, pointing his arm goal-ward to signify it.

Brady had been close to 1,000 career yards this whole season, but he doesn't pick them up in large chunks. Quarterbacks also tend to lose a few rushing yards per game when they take kneeldowns to end games.

On pure longevity alone, Brady joined 30 other players in franchise history to rush for 1,000 yards. It's taken Brady 265 games to get to the milestone.

Brady has more than 69,000 passing yards - good for fourth in NFL history.
