Mahomes, Jordan, and the Chase for Immortality… The Super Bowl does something to the football world. It amplifies everything. Every storyline, every debate, every comparison gets dialed up to the max. And right now? The conversation that’s getting LOUDER is a big one—if Patrick Mahomes pulls off the first three-peat in NFL history, does he become football’s Michael Jordan?
Mahomes, as always, took the question in stride. “More than anything, you see for the competitors that they are. They compete to win. That’s who you need to be in order to have success in professional sports… Obviously, there’s a long way for me to go to be in mention with those guys. But I’ll do what I can to be as close as I can be.” Classic Mahomes—humble, focused, and fully aware of the stakes.
Andy Reid wasn’t lying when he said Mahomes is a humble kid, but let’s be real—humility doesn’t change the reality. The man is rewriting the record books in real time. Since taking over in 2018, he’s dominated the AFC, made highlight-reel plays look routine, and turned winning into something fans almost take for granted. Now, with a fourth ring in his sights, the comparisons to Jordan and Brady aren’t just fun barstool debates—they’re legitimate.
Think about it: Mahomes has already won three Super Bowls. If he wins another? He reaches Brady’s total by his seventh season as a starter. Brady waited a decade between rings three and four. Mahomes isn’t waiting. He’s pushing the pace, stacking accolades, and making future Hall of Famers—guys like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow—look like mere obstacles along the way. Sound familiar? It should. This is Jordan in the ‘90s, keeping great players ringless because he simply wouldn’t lose.
Of course, none of this matters if the Chiefs don’t finish the job. If Mahomes and Kansas City stumble, the Jordan of the NFL conversation takes a backseat—for now. But win a third straight Lombardi? Then we’re talking legacy-defining, history-making, undisputed greatness. And at that point, the debate shifts from if Mahomes is the NFL’s Jordan to how much more he can add to his legend.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned!
