There have been 25 NFL seasons in the 21st century. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have combined to win the Super Bowl in 40% of them. No matter which way you slice it, they’ve been the best quarterbacks of the 2000s.
If you need an example of just how much one Super Bowl can impact a quarterback’s public perception and legacy, look no further than the current discourse surrounding Patrick Mahomes.
Bobby Stroupe, the longtime trainer for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was ready to solve things face-to-face after a local radio host took a shot at his client.
Few players attract the interest of the NFL media as much as Travis Kelce. From being on the NFL’s most successful team of the era (and being a large part of the reason why) to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, not many have failed to pass an opinion on the tight end.

While still out of the top 10, Kansas City still received its highest ranking in the last four offseasons.
On Tuesday, ESPN senior NFL writer Bill Barnwell released his annual column ranking the NFL’s best (and worst) playmaker groups, judging which front offices have given their quarterback a good supporting cast of weapons.
First, let’s review where the Kansas City Chiefs landed the last five offseasons:
2020: No....Before Patrick Mahomes arrived in Kansas City, the Chiefs had won the Super Bowl just once — back in 1970. Since then, Kansas City has hoisted three Lombardi trophies, becoming the NFL‘s latest version of a dynasty.

According to a new article on NFL.com, Kansas City’s quarterback is the best player to build a team around.
On Monday, NFL.com writer Tom Blair went through an interesting exercise: building the best full 53-man NFL roster that would fit under the league’s 2025 salary cap, based on this season’s cap figure for each player.
He limited himself to 24 players on their rookie contracts: no more than four first-round picks, four second-round...
Chris Jones is considered by many around the NFL to be the best interior defensive lineman and ESPN's yearly Top-10 rankings backed that up in 2024. It's not the case in 2025, however, as New York Giants star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence now owns the top spot.
Patrick Mahomes is looking to have the same success Tom Brady had when he was playing in the NFL. While appearing on Up & Adams on Monday, Mahomes revealed he has spoken to Brady a lot this offseason.
Being sacked and chased down by highly-paid pass rushers is something of an occupational hazard when you’re Patrick Mahomes. Throughout his phenomenal eight-year career, defenses have continually been built in an attempt to stop, or at the very least, contain, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.

Let’s hear what you think!
It’s always fascinating to see how expectations drive the public’s perception of NFL players. A solid player can spend six years playing for a franchise. If he doesn’t become an All-Pro after being taken in the first round of the draft, some fans will label him a bust. But if he is selected in the seventh round, most fans will consider him a star.
On this Tuesday, let’s consider the Kansas City players...

Heading into the 2018 NFL season, one thing was certain: it would take decades to witness a level of greatness similar to that of Tom Brady. Fast-forward a few years down the road, and that sentiment has changed due to Patrick Mahomes.
Heading into the ninth season of his professional career, Patrick Mahomes already figures to be one of the greatest signal callers in NFL history by the time he retires. He’s won more games than any other quarterback throughout the first eight years of his career, and he’s already collected three Lombardi trophies.
