Reflecting on the prospect of achieving similar feats as Brady, Mahomes remained grounded, recognizing the long road ahead in his career. Despite his recent Super Bowl triumphs, he maintained a humble perspective, acknowledging that he is only partway through his journey and focused on immediate goals rather than distant milestones.
Mahomes’ modesty was evident even after securing his third Super Bowl victory, as he refrained from prematurely placing himself in the same echelon as Brady. He acknowledged Brady’s victory over him in a past Super Bowl and the respect he holds for the seasoned quarterback’s achievements.
Although Brady has bested Mahomes on significant occasions, including a Super Bowl matchup and an AFC Championship Game, Mahomes continues to amass an impressive track record.
With another Super Bowl win, he will join the ranks of legendary quarterbacks such as Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. Notably, achieving this milestone at a young age would mark a historic achievement in NFL history.
