Mahomes and Brady previously played each other in the 2019 AFC championship game and 2021 Super Bowl
Patrick Mahomes drew quite the response during Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony
The 28-year-old quarterback received some heavy boos from New England Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during his video message to Brady, who was being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday, June 12.
“I just wanna say congrats to Tom on being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame,” Mahomes told Brady, 46, in his tribute video, as the loud jeers began.
“It’s well-deserved, man. I appreciate all the advice you’ve given me, and especially the advice you gave me after y’all beat us in the AFC championship game,” he continued. “That put the stamp on all the hard work I’ve been putting in. Congrats again, man.”
The booing comes as some fans suggest that Mahomes is in competition with Brady for the title of greatest of all time in the NFL — especially after Mahomes recently secured his third Super Bowl ring.
However, the Kansas City Chiefs player has previously said that he still regards Brady — who has earned seven Super Bowl rings — as the greatest in the sport.
“Yeah, I hear it,” Mahomes said in February 2023 when asked about the “greatest of all time” title, per Sports Illustrated. “To me, it’s always going to be tough because Brady beat me in the Super Bowl.”
