The "Honey Badger" sees Mahomes as a "close second" to the seven-time NFL champion.“I would say he's a great quarterback. The greatest of all time. I think that's still like reserved for Brady. And I think with Brady, like that's just longevity. That's respect. That's just playing against this guy. You know, in the biggest stages, like he was one of the most competitive, accurate, like he just had like a single mindset to win by any means necessary."He was always a challenge to go up against… I don't think it's like an 8, 9, 10-year thing. You know, I think if Pat like is able to get to like year 15, year 16, I think at that point maybe, yeah, he'll be the greatest of all time. But I think Brady and just everything he's accomplished and just the touchdowns and the win percentages, the Super Bowls, I think you still have to respect that. But I think Patrick is like definitely, definitely like a close second."Tyrann Mathieu faced both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes during his career, having different experiences against the two future Hall of Famers.Tyrann Mathieu experienced Tom Brady's anger firsthand during Super Bowl LVBack in 2020, as his Kansas City Chiefs took on Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tyrann Mathieu starred in a heated back-and-forth with Brady.
