Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl as quarterback of the New England Patriots in 2002.

In 2002, Jared Goff was 7 years old.

Brady will be playing in his ninth Super Bowl Feb. 3 when the Patriots face the Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Super Bowl LIII will be the first for Goff, now 24 and the same age as Brady was in 2002.

"It's a guy that you've looked up to for so long," Goff said. "Now I get a chance to play in one with him. We do respect him, but I'm going to go out there and do my best and be the best I can be, and hopefully come out with a win."
