Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is well on pace to at least contend with the seven Super Bowl championships that Tom Brady won during his playing career. But as he prepares for Super Bowl LVIII, he doesn’t want to talk about those comparisons just yet.
During his press conference on Monday, Patrick Mahomes pointed out that he still has a long way to go before he reaches Brady’s totals, even if the Chiefs do win on Sunday. So he doesn’t want to talk about any comparisons for quite a while.
“I mean, I’m not even close to halfway, so I haven’t put a lot of thought into it,” Mahomes said. “Your goal is to be the best player you can be. And I know I’m blessed to be with a lot of great players around me. And so, right now, it’s doing whatever I can to beat a great 49ers team and try to get that third ring.
“And then if you ask me that question in like 15 years, I’ll see if I can get close to seven. But seven seems like a long ways away still.”
Mahomes certainly does have a long way to go before he can compete with Brady’s total. We’ll have to see whether or not he is able to do it.
