In an interview with Up & Adams that aired on Monday, Mahomes noted that he’s long had thoughts about what his legacy could be when he’s done playing. But when Brady recently noted that Mahomes has a chance to duplicate some of Brady’s historical impact on the game, that also provided a little additional motivation for the Kansas City quarterback.

There was a time when Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and arguably the NFL 's greatest of all time, Tom Brady, were fierce rivals. In fact, Brady and the New England Patriots took down Mahomes and the Chiefs in the 2019 AFC Championship during the 2018 season, and Brady and the Bucaneers in Super Bowl LV.
