Brady Close to Joining 4 Other Quarterbacks with 60,000 Passing Yards

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will enter Sunday's matchup with the San Francisco 49ers just 337 passing yards short of 60,000 for his career, per NFL.com.

Only four other quarterbacks have previously surpassed that total: Peyton Manning (71,940), Brett Favre (71,838), Drew Brees (63,894) and Dan Marino (61,361). Each of the three retired signal-callers on this list is either in the Hall of Fame or bound for induction.

Brady—who has 59,663 passing yards in his career—and Brees are both locks to join their retired brethren in Canton when they decide to call it a career.
