The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has already achieved everything in the NFL by the age of 28.

Patrick Mahomes has reached legendary status despite his best years still ahead of him.

Moreover, the franchise quarterback has three Super Bowl rings, three Super Bowl MVPs, and two regular season MVPs.

Tom Brady did not reach this feat until the age of 37, highlighting the dominance Mahomes has shown.

Mahomes and Brady a part of NFL dynasties

The Chiefs have already created a dynasty with a generational signal-caller steering the ship.

The former New England Patriots and Tamp Bay Buccaneers legend formally retired aged 44.

He was the oldest player in the NFL when he confirmed the news a legend was departing from the game.

However, the legend recently stated that he would never say no to coming back with a franchise.

The former QB has said he keeps himself healthy and in the right condition, so would not have a problem slotting back in.

Brady and Mahomes head-to-head record

Brady and Mahomes squared off at Super Bowl LV with the former emerging victorious from the clash.

In the regular season, Mahomes leads the way 3-1.

During the all-or-nothing playoffs, Brady has swept the current player 2-0, with one of the wins in the Super Bowl final.

In a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe, Cam Newton was asked who he would prefer to lead a last-minute drive with two minutes on the clock.

‘Brady! Just Brady’… Cam Newton weighs in on the debate

Newton answered: “Brady! Just Brady. Not to minimize Patrick. I never played Patrick Mahomes, the time I was supposed to play him I had Covid.

“I remember playing Tom Brady in New England, think it was 2017/2018, the impact he had it was like the game was never over. He [Brady] has proved it with an elite support cast and questionable support cast, he has always got it done.

“In that situation, I’m going with Tom Brady every single day.”

An outstanding stat for Mahomes in this argument is, per CBS, he is 7-for-7 converting playoff drives with under a minute left in regulation and trailing by seven or fewer points.

Both superstars have demonstrated the character and mentality to lead multiple game-winning drives with seconds left.

Mahomes and Brady’s contrasting playing styles

Furthermore, the two players have varying styles of play.

Mahomes is a modern dual-threat quarterback who is as big of a threat with his feet as with his hands.

On the other hand, Brady is an old-school player who would sit in the pocket and laser passes to his receivers.
