Tom Brady recently stated that no other NFL player will ever be as successful as him. Travis Kelce largely contradicted this theory when he compared Patrick Mahomes to the quarterback legend.
In the “I Am Athlete” podcast, Kelce initially admitted that Brady is currently still the best NFL player of all time. However, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end believes Mahomes could one day hold that title.
“Of course I have all the respect for Tom Brady. He’s the GOAT and the best to ever play, but I think at the rate Pat is going, it’s going to come down to Pat rather than Brady,” ventured Kelce a forecast.
Measured over the first five NFL seasons, Mahomes eclipsed Brady in MVP titles (2), Pro Bowl nominations (5), passing yards (23,957) and passing touchdowns (192), among other things.
The seven Super Bowls that Brady won in his career still represent a major hurdle for Mahomes, who lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy twice. Accordingly, Kelce’s closing statement is.
“So I believe that [Mahomes] [Brady] will win all awards. But I think the biggest thing will always be the Super Bowls. And that’s a lot of Super Bowls,” the tight end recalled Brady’s impressive legacy.

Incidentally, Tom Brady also only gives Patrick Mahomes a chance of following in his larger-than-life NFL footsteps.
“When I look at the guys in professional football, Patrick is the one who really stands out. They’ve actually done a great job since he’s been here,” TB12 said on his podcast “Let’s Go!” on Tuesday. firmly.
Whether Mahomes ultimately becomes the GOAT will certainly depend on the length of his NFL career. For comparison: Brady played in the best football league in the world for a total of 23 years and remained almost injury-free throughout – not a given in this physical sport.
