Tom Brady rooting for Patrick Mahomes to do what he couldn’t

Tom Brady had an up-close and personal message Wednesday morning for Patrick Mahomes: Go make history.

“I was able to see Patrick this morning and we did a great interview for the pregame show,” Brady said on a Fox Sports conference call, “and I said, ‘Look, nobody would be more happy for you than me if you go out and you do something that no other team in history has ever done, and no other quarterback’s ever done.’

“Because I love seeing other people achieve great things. For people to detract from anything that Patrick is doing, I don’t believe will ever detract from what I accomplished in my career, and there’s gonna be another player beyond Patrick years from now that will be compared.”

As I listened to Brady, it struck me that he sees the very things in Mahomes that others saw in Brady and he always saw in himself.
