Patrick Mahomes recently added another milestone to his already impressive resume. When Tom Brady referred to Mahomes as “a tough guy,” Brady likely knew that one-day comparisons between them would become commonplace. There’s no denying that when people discuss the NFL’s best quarterbacks, the names Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes invariably come up. For many fans, choosing between the two is a challenging task, and it’s not difficult to see why.
When Brady entered the league, he astounded everyone by quickly establishing himself as a young, rising star. Brady succeeded in turning his then-team, the New England Patriots, into a strong and successful franchise. To this day, many people think of the Patriots as “Tom Brady’s team.” A similar phenomenon occurred with Mahomes, in his first game with the Kansas City Chiefs, he secured a victory, leaving his mark as a first-game winner among quarterbacks. Now, it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that Mahomes is not far behind Brady, as his recent record indicates that he is indeed the young GOAT.
