New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been wearing the same shoulder pads since he was a freshman at Michigan.

Five players on the New England Patriots were not yet born when Brady began wearing his shoulder pads at Michigan.

I don't know a whole lot about shoulder pads but it seems like the beating they take would be cause for replacement once in a while.
