The NFL media has decided that Patrick Mahomes is the greatest football player to ever live. In less than a week, Mahomes has the opportunity to win his 3rd Super Bowl before turning 30 years old. He is now in very limited company, and the NFL world is already comparing him to the legend Tom Brady. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback thinks that it is way too early to make those comparisons, and he is just focused on the one game that is in front of him.
Patrick Mahomes Does Not Think He is Close To NFL Legend Tom Brady
Mahomes was asked about making the comparison between him and Brady in his pre Super Bowl press conference. While Patrick has had the best start to a career in the history of the NFL, he thinks it is way too soon to make the comparison to Brady, as Brady won 7 titles and was amazing over such a long period of time. Mahomes was quoted saying:
“I mean, I’m not even close to halfway,” the Kansas City Chiefs superstar said of his ring total compared to Brady’s. “I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. Your goal is to be the best player that you can be. I know I’m blessed to have a lot of great players around me.
He then followed that up, in very professional fashion with his intentions of just being focused on this won game and that this is not the time to be thinking about his own personal legacy. He continued saying:
“Right now, I’m just doing whatever I can to beat a great 49ers team and try and get that third ring. You ask me that question in 15 years and I’ll see if I can get close to seven, but seven seems like a long way away still.”
Tom Brady Did Not Welcome Patrick Mahomes To The NFL Nicely
Tom Brady got the best of almost everyone in the NFL for over 20 years, besides for Eli Manning, and Mahomes was no different. Not only was Brady 2-0 against Mahomes in the playoffs/Super Bowl, but Brady gave Mahomes all of his ‘first’ losses.
Brady handed Mahomes his first regular season, first post season, and first Super Bowl loss of his career. It seemed Brady was never ready to hand over the torch. Brady most notably beat Mahomes in the Super Bowl 31-9, and besides for an overtime loss against Joe Burrow, Brady is the only man to give Mahomes consistent losses.
We will see how they matchup a bit later in Patrick’s career, but for now it’s just as Mahomes says- “I’m not even close to halfway.
