Tom Brady has—indirectly—reacted to the talk that Patrick Mahomes has surpassed him as the ‘GOAT’ (Greatest of All Time).
Such talk surrounding Mahomes started up after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game to advance to the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The argument picked up even more steam after ESPN’s Mike Greenberg declared the Chiefs quarterback the ‘GOAT’ in a post onto his account on X, formerly Twitter, leading to many replies of fans reminding him that Brady exists.
Brady joined the fun on Monday, posting a video of himself and friends on a trip to Australia. When the group approached a goat exhibit, one of Brady’s friends couldn’t resist making a clever joke.
“”Coming up on the Mahomes exhibit,” Brady’s friend says, as the NFL legend laughs. It’s an amusing comment, given the current conversation.
Brady has plenty to laugh about when it comes to talk that Mahomes, who was defeated by his New England Patriots in the 2019 AFC championship game, and then again in the 2020 Super Bowl by his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has one-upped him in the NFL all-time ranks.
That said, Mahomes, who ranks pretty favorably alongside Brady in terms of career achievements through six NFL seasons, is on the right path.
But he still has a ways to go to catch Brady.
