Tom Brady might need to give up his spot as the GOAT in the NFL because Patrick Mahomes is on his way to steal it. And no, it’s not his 28,424 yards and 219 touchdowns, neither the 3 Super Bowl MVP awards, the 2 MVP awards, or the Offensive Player of the Year award that qualifies him for it. Far from it. While Patrick Mahomes has just been in the league for 7 seasons, he has painted the town red in this period. Patrick Mahomes now has a chance to etch his name as the ultimate GOAT in the NFL books by doing something no one has ever done before: unlocking a three-peat.

A three-peat, a team that wins the Super Bowl 3 times consecutively, is a never-done phenomenon in the NFL. Tom Brady reached 2 consecutive Super Bowls with the Patriots wins but couldn’t make it to the 3-peat. If Patrick Mahomes does, it will automatically put him in a more elite league of QBs than Tom Brady, one in which no other QB has ever been placed.

Robert Griffin III believes the passion burning like a steady flame in Mahomes holds the potential to make this happen. “If he can win 3 in a row, I think he will surpass Tom Brady and be the greatest QB ever,” Griffin III commented. Now will the third time prove to be the charm Patrick Mahomes needs to unlock a 3-peat? The likes are in his favor.

The reason? He has the perfect team for it. Griffin III likes to call them the perfect 4: Patrick Mahomes, Kelce, Kris Jones, and head coach Andy Reid. Reid made an addition in the 2024 NFL draft, and now they are expected to be the strong 5.

The Chiefs’ roster addition to move close to a 3-peat dream

The Chiefs got lucky in the 2025 NFL draft. The strings of fate worked in their favor in Detroit and their arch-conference-rivals, the Buffalo Bills, magically agreed to their request of trading up to draft Xavier Worthy at No.28. Big win for the Chiefs. Travis Kelce was holding up the WR position well but the vacancy of Tyreek Hill was hurting the Chiefs like a stuck thorn. Xavier Worthy’s draft came as the soothing balm to that wound.

Worthy is already a weapon for the Chiefs with all his accuracy and agility. Under a head coach like Andy Reid, Worthy will become a truly formidable force. With Worthy on board, The Chiefs can be positive of Patrick Mahomes making it to the Super Bowl this season as well, completing their 3-peat dream and taking away the GOAT crown of Tom Brady.
