- Patrick Mahomes discusses relationship with Tom Brady: 'Such a good dude'</p>
<p>Jacob Camenker, USA TODAY July 8, 2025 at 2:51 AM</p>
<p>Tom Brady served as one of Patrick Mahomes' biggest on-field rivals during the early stages of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's career.</p>
<p>Now retired, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is serving as a mentor and sounding board for the two-time MVP, as Mahomes explained to Kay Adams on her "Up and Adams" show.</p>
<p>"I've actually talked to Tom a good amount this offseason," Mahomes said. "It's cool that he wants to give me advice. He doesn't have to be like that. He's such a good dude. And I have so much respect for him, and I'll take any advice he gives me."</p>
<p>Mahomes joked he wasn't able to give specifics about the discussions between himself and Brady.</p>
<p>"I've got to keep the secrets, you know?" Mahomes said, playfully.</p>
<p>That said, Mahomes did detail one of the most important lessons he has learned from Brady, who currently serves as a game analyst for Fox's NFL coverage and recently bought an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.</p>
<p>"He always talks about being yourself," Mahomes said. "He thinks that – which I truly believe, too – is that guys can spot when you're not authentic, and you're not putting in the work. That's something that he did every single day. That's why guys respected him so much."</p>
<p>"That's all I'm going to do for the rest of my career, and I feel like I've done so far, is I'm always myself," he added. "No matter if you like me or don't like me, you know I'm giving everything I can to win football games."</p>
<p>TOM BRADY: How legendary QB is handling Patrick Mahomes chasing his historic Super Bowl legacy</p>
<p>Like Brady, Mahomes has found success doing that. The 29-year-old has already won three Super Bowls and earned MVP honors in each of his three victories. He has posted an 89-23 regular-season record in Kansas City and a 17-4 record in the postseason, giving him a combined winning percentage of .797.</p>
<p>Mahomes' success has earned him high praise from Brady. The long-time New England Patriots starter has expressed his belief that if any quarterback could eventually surpass him in the debate about the NFL's greatest quarterback, it would be Mahomes.</p>
<p>That praise has meant a lot to the Texas Tech product and has lit a fire under him as he looks to bounce back after a Super Bowl 59 defeat in his ninth NFL season.</p>
<p>"I think [legacy is] always in the back of your mind, even from the beginning of my career," Mahomes told Adams. "But at the end of the day, it's about taking it a day at a time ... That's something that I've been conscious of – of knowing how blessed I am to be in Kansas City, to have all these great players around me.</p>
<p>"And having Tom – a guy like that – say that, it just motivates me even more."</p>
