Tom Brady, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time. In his 23-year NFL career, Brady won seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVPs, and three league MVPs. He finished his career as the winningest quarterback of all time and spearheaded the NFL’s greatest dynasty.

One player who has a legitimate chance of surpassing Brady is the Kansas City Chiefs’ QB, Patrick Mahomes. He has had a fantastic start to his career and has already won a couple of Super Bowls and league MVPs in his six seasons in the league.

A lot of people have already claimed the Mahomes will surpass Brady to become the greatest player in his position. One of them is Brady’s ex-teammate, Rodney Harrison.

What I love about Patrick Mahomes is just his humility. No matter what milestone he reaches, he’s always trying to do it for the team. It’s not about individual accomplishments and anything like that. Before it’s all said and down, and I played with Brady, he’s gonna be the greatest to ever do it. He (Mahomes) will be.

Harrison said in a sideline interview when asked about his opinion on the quarterback.

Mahomes reached the 25,000 career passing yards milestone this season. He and the Chiefs are looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions this year and are 9-5 so far. They won their last game against the Patriots and will play the Las Vegas Raiders in their next game on Monday.

Patrick Mahomes talks about the Chiefs’ dropped passes this season

The Kansas City Chiefs have been plagued by a lot of dropped passes from their receivers. In their win against the New England Patriots on Sunday, QB Patrick Mahomes threw two picks.

His second interception came because of a dropped pass by the Chiefs’ WR Kadarius Toney. Mahomes was understandably livid after the play. He spoke about the dropped passes this season and the team’s effort to minimize them.

You will never be able to eliminate it completely. All you can do is work at it, and the guys know that I’m going to keep firing the ball.  think it’s just, the guys gotta have the confidence to know that I’m gonna keep throwing it back to them and they gotta make the plays happen.

Mahomes told Mike Florio of NBC Sports

The Chiefs will look to correct their catching problem before the postseason. They are currently 9-5 for the season and are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. They will play the Las Vegas Raiders in their next game on Monday.
