Though Tom Brady hasn't played in the NFL for a couple of years, his legacy is frequently used as a benchmark for what Patrick Mahomes has accomplished with the Kansas City Chiefs in his relatively short career. While the active quarterback never defeated the GOAT in the postseason, Mahomes has a shot at something virtually impossible for the former Patriots and Buccaneers star.

It all boils down to the opportunity for NFL players to compete in the Olympics through flag football.

Mahomes Can Achieve What's Impossible for Tom Brady

It's no secret that many NFL players were thrilled by the prospect of achieving something previously exclusive to basketball: winning an Olympic gold medal.

Flag football, a non- sport compared to the NFL, has piqued the interest of many, and in three years, players can aim to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics. This scenario positions Patrick Mahomes as a prime quarterback candidate to shine on this global stage.

While some might see this as trivial, it's likely significant for Mahomes, as it would add a unique dimension to distinguish his career from Tom Brady's. Not only could he win an Olympic gold, but he could also be the first quarterback to lead the United States to that victory.

By 2028, Mahomes will be more than 30 years old, making him a strong contender to take on this responsibility, as he embodies and defines an entire generation.

"I think it adds something to the résumé that maybe the average American doesn't understand. It's like in golf, they value that gold medal. It's like a major for them, and it's something different," Mahomes said when discussing the possibility of competing in the Olympics.

It's not that he's chasing individual accolades, but with three Super Bowls already under his belt, a gold medal-if he earns it-could shift the conversation about who is the greatest quarterback in history.
