Brady: 'Nobody would be more happy' than me to see Mahomes make history
Tom Brady is rooting for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to accomplish what no other NFL team in history has been able to do and win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday.
The Hall of Famer revealed the message he shared with Mahomes ahead of Super Bowl LIX while on a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
"I was able to see Patrick this morning and we did a great interview for the pregame show, and I said, 'Look, nobody would be more happy for you than me if you go out and you do something that no other team in history has ever done, and no other quarterback's ever done,'" Brady said, according to Steve Serby of the New York Post.
"Because I love seeing other people achieve great things. For people to detract from anything that Patrick is doing, I don't believe will ever detract from what I accomplished in my career, and there's gonna be another player beyond Patrick years from now that will be compared."
Brady won a record seven Super Bowl championships and five Super Bowl MVP awards over the course of his 23-year NFL career, including back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005 with the New England Patriots.
Mahomes has won three Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVPs.
