“I Know How Smart He Is”: Patrick Mahomes Backs Broadcaster Tom Brady and Picks Peyton Manning Over “Coach” Eli

Patrick Mahomes is set to star in the Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. As he attempts to pull off the first ‘three-peat’ in modern-day NFL history, he is equally excited that Tom Brady will be commentating on the game.

Brady has come under fire in recent weeks with fans questioning the quality of his commentary. However, by occupying a place in the booth for the biggest game of the year despite having less than a year’s experience in commentary, Brady will once again find himself with something to prove on Championship Sunday.

For Mahomes, Brady will simply add more dimensions to how the fans would experience the game.

“I’m super excited for him to have the opportunity to call the Super Bowl, because I know how smart he is and how great he is at talking football. I’ve learned firsthand through the advice that he has given me,” said the Kansas City star at the latest Super Bowl press conference.

Mahomes has more reasons to be thrilled about having the G.O.A.T call the potentially history-making game. With one more win, the Chiefs QB can officially tie Brady’s record for most consecutive playoff wins in NFL history.

However, despite enjoying the greatest start to a QB career in NFL history, the Kansas City signal caller wasn’t quite ready to compare himself to the former New England Patriot.

“I have a long way to go so I don’t think he’s too worried about that,” added Mahomes.

Mahomes is mostly telling the truth about learning from Brady’s advice as well, considering that the seven-time champion was blocked from two Super Bowls by him. 

With that in mind, the three-time Super Bowl MVP sided with Brady and backed coach Peyton Manning to find some production against his brother, Eli sooner than later in the pro bowl. 

“I mean, Peyton’s gotta win something, man. Eli’s dominating the flag football challenges, so I’m gonna take Peyton. He’s gotta get on the scoreboard, all the pro bowl games it seems like Eli is winning,” Mahomes explained.

The two-time MVP has no reason to trust Brady’s intuition, and one can never go wrong when picking between either of the Manning Brothers. Set to become an all-time thrower, Mahomes has seemingly already been accepted into the fold by the NFL’s most illustrious quarterbacks. 

The Texas Tech product will look to claim his fourth Super Bowl MVP when he takes on Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles in a championship rematch on February 9th, at 6:30pm EST in New Orleans, Louisiana.
