The Super Bowl is not just a dream but the ultimate goal of all NFL players.
Many players have to wait for the opportunity to showcase their skills on the biggest stage. But a few are able to make an immediate impact; they land in the biggest game in the NFL and win it at an impressively young age too.
On that note, let's take a look at the ten youngest players to win the Super Bowl in NFL history.
#10 Aaron Rodgers (27 years, 1 month, 16 days) - Super Bowl XLV
Aaron Rodgers was in his third year when he was deployed as a starter by his NFL team.
After taking over from the team's all-time leading passer, Brett Favre, Rodgers won his first and only Super Bowl in 2011. He tallied a completion percentage of 65.7, 28 touchdowns and eleven interceptions.
Rodgers also finished his second consecutive season with a triple-digit passer rating.
#9 Eli Manning (27 years, 1 month) Super Bowl XLII
In one of the biggest, most stunning upsets in NFL history, the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 17 -14.
The Giants weren't expected to be there, making it into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. Even after they miraculously made it to the Super Bowl, the undrafted reigning champions, the New England Patriots, were the overwhelming favorites. But on the day, Eli Manning had other ideas; he was a beast on the field, portraying Brady-esque talent.
#8 Jim McMahon (26 years, 5 months, 5 days) - Super Bowl XX
In 1985, Jim McMahon had his most successful NFL season with the Chicago Bears, as he emerged triumphant in Super Bowl XX. McMahon also received Pro Bowl honors for his exploits that season.
#7 Terry Bradshaw (26 years, 4 months, 10 days) - Super Bowl IX
The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by Terry Bradshaw, defeated the Minnesota Vikings 16–6 to win their first Super Bowl championship in 1975. The game saw the NFL's two best defenses and future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks lock horns.
Bradshaw won three more Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers, doing so in 1976, 1979 and 1980.
#6 Troy Aikman (26 years, 2 months, 10 days) - Super Bowl XXVII
A 26-year-old Troy Aikman led the Dallas Cowboys to a 52-17 victory against the Buffalo Bills in his first Super Bowl in 1993.
Aikman led the team to four NFC Championship games on the trot, winning two more Super Bowls.
#5 Joe Montana (25 years, 7 months, 13 days) - Super Bowl XVI
Before Tom Brady, Joe Montana was regarded as the GOAT in NFL. He was phenomenal and showed his potential at a very young age.
He won every Super Bowl he ever played in, winning his first one at the age of 25, helping the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals to announce his arrival on the big stage.
Montana subsequently won three more Super Bowls with the 49ers, doing so in 1985, 1989 and 1990.
#4 Russell Wilson (25 years, 2 months, 4 days) - Super Bowl XLVIII
Russell Wilson was part of one of the most exciting teams the NFL has seen in recent years.
In 2014, the Seattle Seahawks were infamous for their 'Legion of Boom' defense, but Wilson asserted himself as one of the best QBs in the league. Wilson and the Seahawks brought down Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos' unbelievable offense, as the then 25-year-old won his first and only Super Bowl.
#3 Tom Brady (24 years, 6 months) - Super Bowl XXXVI
Tom Brady is one of the youngest winners of the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots selected Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft as the 199th pick. That was the last time Brady was anywhere near the last place.
He had a stellar career and was the third-youngest (and oldest) quarterback to win the Super Bowl. Brady helped the Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17 in 2002.
#2 Patrick Mahomes (24 years, 4 months, 16 days) - Super Bowl LIV
In his first Super Bowl in 2019, Patrick Mahomes was thwarted by the duo Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, as the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3.
However, Mahomes had his retribution the next season. Playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes became one of the youngest winners of the Lombardi Trophy.
#1 Ben Roethlisberger (23 years, 11 months, 3 days) - Super Bowl XL
Ben Roethlisberger is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in NFL history.
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seahawks 21-10 in that game. However, the Steelers didn't win the game because of Roethlisberger; they won it despite him. Nevertheless, he earned the ring and set a record that looks very difficult to break.
