Patrick Mahomes is on the fast track to surpassing Tom Brady as the NFL’s greatest ever, according to experts. With a win in this year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes would become the first player to win four rings before turning 30 and would surpass Brady’s record. Mahomes also has impressive numbers compared to Brady’s first seven full seasons.
However, not everyone agrees that Mahomes will surpass Brady. Rob Gronkowski, who won four titles with Brady, notes that Brady won more than half of his rings after turning 37, cementing his place in the conversation. Gronkowski believes that Mahomes will need to win five or six championships to be considered ahead of Brady.
Victor Cruz echoes similar sentiments, calling Mahomes “1A, 1B” to Brady. Cruz notes that while Mahomes is having an impressive career, he still needs to surpass Brady’s achievements before being considered the greatest.
To get to six rings, the Chiefs will first need to get past the Philadelphia Eagles in this year’s Super Bowl. If Mahomes can lead his team to victory, it will be a significant step towards surpassing Brady and solidifying his place as the NFL’s greatest ever.
