Patrick Mahomes recently opened up about advice he’s gotten from Tom Brady. Mahomes says he and Brady have talked a “good amount” this offseason.
While appearing on Kay Adams’ radio show Up & Adams earlier this week, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback — who is entering his Age 30 season — that he has been communicating with Tom Brady quite a bit this offseason and that the legendary NFL QB has been giving his advice.
Mahomes — who is coming off the second Super Bowl loss of his career after previously being beaten by Brady and the Bucs in 2021 — was careful not to divulge too much, although he did say that one piece of advice that Tom Brady gave him was to be authentic.
“I’ve actually talked to Tom a good amount this offseason,” Mahomes told the “Up and Adams Show.” “And it’s cool that he wants to give me advice. He didn’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.”
“I gotta keep them secrets, but he always talks about being yourself. 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, and that’s something that he did every single day. That’s why guys respected him so much. And that’s all I’m going to do for the rest of my career.”
During that same interview with Kay Adams, Mahomes also sent something of a warning shot to the rest of the NFL as he looks to avenge last year’s loss in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’m honestly just ready to play football again. Whenever you lose, you kind of have this taste in your mouth and you want to go out there and revenge that,” Mahomes said.
“I feel like I’ve had to sit back and just listen to people talk and talk. Let’s just play football and handle it all out there. I don’t really want to talk about it, I just want to go out and show who we are as the Kansas City Chiefs.”
