<\/p>\nPatrick Mahomes Talking to Tom Brady \u2018A Good Amount,\u2019 Learning Plenty<\/h2>\n
Mahomes, a determined individual by nature, kicks it into overdrive when given such a ringing endorsement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving Tom, a guy like that say that, it just motivates me even more,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cI\u2019ve actually talked to Tom a good amount this offseason. It\u2019s cool that he wants to give me advice, you know? He doesn\u2019t have to be like that. He\u2019s such a good dude, and I have so much respect for him. I\u2019ll take any advice he gives me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n When asked for details about that advice, the Chiefs superstar didn\u2019t divulge. He did, however, double down on his goal to be a good teammate and lead by example.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got to keep the secrets, you know?\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cHe always talks about being yourself. He thinks that \u2013 which I truly believe, too \u2013 guys can spot when you\u2019re not authentic and you\u2019re not putting in the work. That\u2019s something that he did every single day; that\u2019s why guys respected him so much. That\u2019s all I\u2019m going to do for the rest of my career, and I feel like I\u2019ve done so far is I\u2019m always myself. No matter if you like me or if you don\u2019t like me, you know that I\u2019m giving everything I can to win the football games.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Brady\u2019s impact on Mahomes is obvious.<\/p>\n In a modern NFL world that focuses on high drama and firing back at doubters, the 29-year-old prefers to let his play do the talking. That\u2019s the theme of the Chiefs\u2019 upcoming revenge tour this season.<\/p>\n Setting \u2013 and maintaining \u2013 a solid precedent has a domino effect on the rest of the team.<\/p>\n In just seven full seasons as the Chiefs\u2019 starter, Mahomes\u2019 resume is one that 99% of signal-callers dream of constructing.<\/p>\n He\u2019s already among the winningest quarterbacks ever, achieving equal amounts of regular-season and playoff success.<\/p>\n Numbers and tape alike both make a legitimate case for Mahomes being an all-time great.<\/p>\n But even with six Pro Bowls, two All-Pro nods, three championships and a pair of MVPs, Mahomes knows the work of leaving a legacy is never done.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s always in the back of your mind, even from the beginning of my career,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, it\u2019s about taking it a day at a time. A day, and a day, and a day, just continuing to do that. That\u2019s something that I\u2019ve been conscious of: knowing how blessed I am to be in Kansas City [and] to have all these great players around me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Chiefs are eyeing a rebound year in 2025. With Mahomes leading the way and being fueled by Brady\u2019s motivation, that should terrify anyone standing in Kansas City\u2019s way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whenever the Kansas City Chiefs don\u2019t win a Super Bowl, it\u2019s viewed as a failure.
