Super Bowl Sunday could all be about legacy for Patrick Mahomes, as he looks to start putting himself in the greatest of all-time (GOAT) conversation.
The Kansas City Chiefs 27-year-old quarterback talent alone is arguably the greatest thing the NFL has ever seen already.
In just five seasons as a starter, Mahomes has one most valuable player award (2018) and has appeared in an astonishing five AFC championship games.
Add that to the fact that he has been selected for the Pro Bowl five times and will be in his third Super Bowl (one win so far).
As far as production goes, Mahomes has become the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach the 20,000 passing yards plateau.
While he isn’t in the conversation just yet, Mahomes is a special talent.
And barring a career-threatening injury, he has a chance to break multiple records.
But tying or accomplishing more or the same amount of Super Bowl wins than Tom Brady‘s seven might be a steep hill.
That’s especially true if Mahomes and his team aren’t able to pull off a win against the NFC’s best Philadelphia Eagles.
But the 27-year-old may have to battle through a ton of pain.
Mahomes in the divisional round in the playoffs suffered a high-ankle sprain – and has led his team to the Super Bowl yet again despite it.
If he wins, he passes all-time greats in Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees for Super Bowl wins.
And you would have to think Mahomes has at least another 10 years left of playing in the NFL.
So this might be only the beginning for Mahomes and we can only imagine how much more he is capable of.
To me, he’s not in that conversation just yet for the GOAT – but his resume keeps on building and it might only just be a matter of time before he actually is.
Mahomes not only has the wins – but his arm strength and his mobility inside and outside the pocket are unlike anything the NFL has ever seen.
