Fans Already Claim Another NFL GOAT, Moments After Tom Brady Retirement News

Tom Brady just announced his second and possibly final retirement from the NFL after an illustrious 23 years at the top. And despite an unimpressive last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fans will still arguably consider him the G.O.A.T. And that includes the Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes gave his tribute after Brady posted the retirement video on Twitter and Instagram with three goat emojis. However, some fans, possibly belonging to the Chiefs fanbase, have already started pulling the G.O.A.T. baton away from the seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady.

Mahomes was getting GOAT shouts in TB12’s comment section

Mahomes went with three “🐐🐐🐐” and that’s when the Chiefs fans came in.

Brady’s tears from the farewell video had probably not dried yet, and the Chiefs Kingdom was already proclaiming a new G.O.A.T. in the league, Patrick Mahomes. “You’re next,” one Kansas fan replied. One fan wrote, “you the goat.” Some fans were happy Pat “acknowledged the true goat.” “Glad you know,” one TB12 fan retorted.

Brady will have a tough time paying attention to the Chiefs fans as the NFL’s most successful quarterback has a jam-packed schedule ahead. With his retirement, Brady can focus on his movie releasing this Friday. Tom has also booked a seat at the Super Bowl LVII in Arizona on February 12. However, instead of being on the gridiron, he will be part of the Fox Sports broadcasting crew.

Tom Brady received the acknowledgement of the greats

The former New England Patriots QB was visibly emotional as he bid his farewell. And he stated that this is not a repeat of what happened last year when Brady came out of his retirement 40 days after the initial announcement. Plus, with a sombre press conference where he thanked the Buccaneers and the fans, players and experts saw this coming.

JJ Watt, who announced his retirement from pro football this season, commented on Brady’s Instagram farewell post with some post-retirement plans cooking. “Greatest of All Time. No question, no debate. It’s been an honor and a privilege. 🐐. PS – The newly retired group meets on the golf course every morning at 10 am. Drinks are on the new guy, so bring your wallet,” JJ wrote.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen also commented, among many other present and ex-NFL stars. “Thank you GOAT,” Allen commented, while Russell Wilson wrote, “Congrats Tom. The Greatest.”
