There are few quarterbacks in the history of the NFL that have accomplished what Patrick Mahomes has through age 27, meaning the Kansas City Chiefs star is well positioned to be considered one of the greatest to ever play the game before all is said and done. But he’s not exactly worried about that right now.
During a recent interview, Patrick Mahomes was asked about his legacy, and he revealed that while the Super Bowl titles and MVP awards might be a nice byproduct, he will be happy with his career as long as he can “maximize every single day.”
“I think everybody thinks about legacy and how they’re remembered, but I think you have to think about that and at the same time evaluate every day how you can become better, how you can maximize every single day, and then whenever your career’s done, you have no regrets,” Mahomes told Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press. “That’s what I’ve always preached. It’s not about success of that day, it’s about having no regrets at the end of your career. I think if you work hard every single day and put everything you have into the game, when you look back at the end of your career, however many trophies you have and however many Super Bowl rings you have, you’ll have no regrets.”
Mahomes’ career is still young, but it’s already very clear he’s going to be remembered as one of the league’s great players.
