## The QB Most Like Tom Brady: It's Not Who You Think

**Brady Names Mahomes as His Closest Modern Counterpart** 

“From afar, I can only tell so much because if I was in there every day, I could see their habits. It’s always that line about who wants to win versus who’s willing to do whatever it takes to win,” Tom Brady said on The Joel Klatt Show. “Everyone wants to win, but what are the habits and the daily habits and the actionable things you need to do every day to put your team in a position to win."

Brady believes Patrick Mahomes embodies this winning mentality more than any current quarterback.  "Patrick Mahomes, to me, is the one that does that the most often because who he is — I mean, obviously his physical talent, how he understands what he needs to do offensively, and he brings a consistent winning attitude to work every single day. In the biggest moments you can depend on him the most.”

While Mahomes mirrors Brady's early success — three Super Bowl wins in eight seasons, matching Brady's own total through his first eight years —  Brady's legacy hinges on his unparalleled longevity. 

“What made Brady’s career so special was his longevity,” a source commented. “Mahomes will have to at least double his Super Bowl wins in the back half of his career and win another MVP award to rival Brady’s legacy.”


**The Next Generation:  Potential, But Still Developing**


Despite Mahomes' similarities to Brady, other young quarterbacks are starting to make waves. However, Brady believes they need more time to prove themselves.

“There’s other guys that are still developing, and they need to prove it before, in my mind, I can say, ‘Oh yeah, he’s done it.’ Well, obviously, he hasn’t done it yet,” Brady said. “They’ve all shown flashes of amazing things. They’re all great players. All of them can make tremendous plays at some point. They need to take the next step and take, in my mind, more ownership of what they’re doing, in terms of the organizational level."

Brady emphasizes that true greatness goes beyond individual talent. "The quarterback, in many ways, is the CEO of the team, certainly on game day. There’s nobody that impacts the game more than the quarterback in NFL football. Now, you have to have the ability and the belief from the entire team, offensively and defensively, that your word means so much."
