Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes relationship grows as Chiefs QB seeks to build on legacy
When Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sat down with Kay Adams on the Up & Adams show, the two-time MVP opened up about more than just football. One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation was Mahomes' growing relationship with Tom Brady, a New England legend that he's often compared to. Adams mentioned a recent comment from Brady, who said Mahomes is the one player he believes could surpass what he accomplished in his 23-year NFL career. For Mahomes, hearing that from the seven-time Super Bowl champion meant more than just praise—it was fuel. Advertisement 'Having Tom, a guy like that, say that—I mean, it just motivates me even more,' Mahomes said. 'I've actually talked to Tom a good amount this offseason, and it's cool that he wants to give me advice. He didn't have to be like that. He's such a good dude, and I have so much respect for him. I'll take any advice he gives me.' Adams pressed him for specifics, but Mahomes stayed tight-lipped. 'I've got to keep the secrets,' he said. Still, he shared the heart of what Brady had passed along: be yourself. 'He thinks—which I truly believe too—that guys can tell when you're not authentic and not putting in the work,' Mahomes said. 'That's something he did every single day. That's why guys respected him so much.' Advertisement It's a lesson Mahomes is taking to heart as he carves out his own legacy. 'That's all I'm going to do for the rest of my career,' he said. 'I feel like I've done that so far as I'm always myself, no matter if you like me or not, you know I'm giving everything I have to win football games.' Between them, Brady and Mahomes have dominated the NFL postseason landscape. One or the other has appeared in 14 straight conference championship games, and together, they've been in eight of the last 10 Super Bowls. With three rings already under his belt, Mahomes still needs four more to match Brady's record-setting seven and five to surpass him. Read the original article on MassLive.

Patrick Mahomes Sends Strong Revenge Message Before NFL Season
Patrick Mahomes Sends Strong Revenge Message Before NFL Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With their 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs fell just short of becoming the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Advertisement Mahomes, who already has three Super Bowl titles to his name, struggled in the defeat, completing 21-of-32 passes for 257 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. With the 2025-26 NFL season quickly approaching, many suggested this could be a revenge year for the Chiefs. They've reached the Super Bowl in five of the last six seasons, but it's clear last year's loss still leaves a bad taste.

"Whenever you lose, you kind of have this taste in your mouth that you want to go out there and revenge that or whatever you want to say. But at the same time, I feel like I've had to sit back and just listen to people talk and talk. And I'm like, let's just play football and just handle it all out there. And I don't really want to talk about it. I just want to go out and show who we are as a Kansas City Chiefs."
