How could anyone top Brady and company? Well, naturally Peyton Manning has something to do with it. The 5-time MVP threw 539 touchdowns and compiled nearly 72,000 yards to constitute a career AV of 177.

Manning is joined by his pal Reggie Wayne, who, in 14 seasons in Indianapolis, caught over 1,000 balls for a career AV of 117. He caught 82 touchdowns and won a Super Bowl during his time alongside Manning.

Along with names like Eli Manning and Ed Reed, Alan Faneca helps place this group of guys above the rest. In 13 years, the 9-time Pro Bowler and 6-time All-Pro guard racked up 201 starts and a Super Bowl victory.
