Patrick Mahomes shows his humility and acknowledges he’s nowhere near GOAT status… yet
Mahomes reflects on achievements
Patrick Mahomes may have achieved a lot in his relatively short career, but he’s not ready to claim the title of the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) just yet. In an interview with TIME, Mahomes humbly acknowledged, “I’ve had at least one of the top three starts to a career, I’ll put it that way.”
In just six seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs’ full-time starting quarterback, Mahomes has already stacked up an impressive list of accolades. He’s secured three Super Bowl wins, three Super Bowl MVP awards, two NFL MVP titles, and has led the NFL in passing yards once and passing touchdowns twice. At the age of 28, he’s undeniably made a significant impact on the league.
Despite his remarkable achievements, Mahomes remains grounded and realistic about his position in comparison to legendary quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and Dan Marino. He pointed out that Brady won three Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVP awards in his first six seasons as a full-time starter, while Montana also had two Super Bowl wins and MVP titles during the same period. Even Marino, who never won a Super Bowl, managed to secure a league MVP title in his second season. These iconic players set the bar high for sustained excellence in the NFL.
Mahomes recognizes the importance of longevity and consistency in order to be considered among the all-time greats. He emphasized, “You have to build a consistency of a career… You can’t take it for granted that you did it the year before.”
Mahomes’ respect for NFL icons Brady, Manning, Rodgers
This perspective reflects his deep respect for the enduring legacies of players like Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers, who consistently performed at the highest level over many years.
Looking ahead, Mahomes is aware that he has a long road ahead if he wants to surpass Brady’s unprecedented success. He acknowledged that Brady had a nine-year gap between his third and fourth Super Bowl titles, highlighting the sustained excellence required to achieve such milestones.
Despite his humility and recognition of the challenges ahead, Mahomes’ determination and talent suggest that he has the potential to leave an indelible mark on the NFL. As he continues to evolve as a player, he may very well carve out his own place in the pantheon of football legends.

“I’ve had a great run. I think I’ve done a great job so far…That’s something I’ll talk about when I’m done playing. Then people can make those decisions" https://t.co/u2XQlFqAQO
