Why Patrick Mahomes might not play in NFL as long as Tom Brady

To say that Patrick Mahomes’ NFL career has gotten off to a hot start would definitely be an understatement.

The Chiefs quarterback has only been in the NFL for seven seasons and in that time, he’s already won three Super Bowls and two MVP awards.

If Mahomes keeps it up, he could end up re-writing the NFL record book. If that’s going to happen, though, Mahomes is going to need put together a long career.

One player who managed to play for what seemed like forever was Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl winner played for a total of 23 seasons before he decided to call it quits following the 2022 season.

Brady played until he was 45 years old, and in a recent interview with Time, Mahomes said he would “love” to stick around for that long.

“I’ve looked, if I played until Tom [Brady]’s age, my daughter would be 19, 20 years old,” Mahomes said. “I would love to play that long.”
