Some quarterbacks take many years to reach the Super Bowl stage, but others waste no time. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye led the six-time Super Bowl-winning team to Super Bowl LX vs. the Seattle Seahawks. The former North Carolina signal-caller accomplished the feat in just his second year in the league. He made his start at 23 years and 162 days old, becoming the second-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl in NFL history.
