The seven-time\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0champion made an astonishing 15 Pro Bowls and won three MVP awards to highlight his long list of accolades.<\/p>\n<p>In retirement, he&#8217;s passed the torch to the next great quarterback in the NFL. As Mahomes enters his 10th year in the NFL, he&#8217;s already won three Super Bowls, been to six Pro Bowls, and won two MVP awards. The two NFL greats have won five of the last seven Super Bowls.<\/p>\n<p>Brady and Mahomes have been in communication throughout this offseason, and the Patriots legend has had some high praise for the current superstar in Kansas City.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd1d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatrickMahomes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PatrickMahomes<\/a> has gotten some offseason wisdom from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomBrady?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TomBrady<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Read more on what Brady told the Kansas City QB and how it could impact his legacy: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mvQejU9eGD\">https:\/\/t.co\/mvQejU9eGD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oq0ShXECjN\">pic.twitter.com\/oq0ShXECjN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonFOX\/status\/1942652026380517704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The great players that I\u2019ve played with, Patrick has their mentality,&#8221; Brady said earlier this year (h\/t\u00a0Fox Sports). &#8220;He has the will to win.

Having Tom, a guy like that say that, it just motivates me even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all that Mahomes has accomplished in his career already, he&#8217;s coming off one of the toughest losses of his career in Super Bowl LIX.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0crushed the Chiefs 40-22 and led 40-6 in the fourth quarter. Mahomes was sacked six times and threw two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes and Brady have developed quite a relationship, and after a game like that, it can&#8217;t hurt to have one of the greatest players of all time to be able to learn from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s cool that he wants to give me advice,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have to be like that. He\u2019s such a good dude. I have so much respect for him. I\u2019ll take any advice that he gives me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no telling exactly what Mahomes and Brady have talked about, and Mahomes didn&#8217;t reveal anything specific. But, Brady did give Mahomes a piece of advice on authenticity within the game of football.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEyODA5NTg4MTA4NDM3MTIw\/usatsi_13770172.jpg\" alt=\"New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) after the game at Gillette Stadium. \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) after the game at Gillette Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--attribution\">Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to keep a secret,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cBut, he always talks about being yourself.

I\u2019m always myself. No matter if you like me or don\u2019t like me, you know that I\u2019m giving everything I can to win football games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Winning a football game is precisely what Mahomes has done.
