It is finally Super Bowl season, as two teams remain in contention and they are the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. During this Super Bowl, Super Bowl XL, Patriots QB Drake Maye has the chance to become one of the youngest starting quarterbacks in history to win the big game, second youngest to be precise. He still has to win first though, so who are the youngest QBs to win the Big Game?

10 – Tom Brady: 2003 New England Patriots
This is his second Super Bowl win, which means he will be back in this list. His second win was against the Carolina Panthers in 2004 at 26 years, 5 months, and 29 days old. Should the Patriots win, Drake Maye would ironically bump this entry from the list.
9 – Jim McMahon: 1985 Chicago Bears

8 – Terry Bradshaw: 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers
These days, people only know Terry Bradshaw as an actor who often plays elderly roles, but he is a legit Hall of Famer who won the Super Bowl in 1975 at 26 years, 4 months, and 10 days old.
7 – Troy Aikman: 1992 Dallas Cowboys
