Patrick Mahomes is not even 30 years old yet, and he is already doubtlessly one of the greatest players in NFL history. Ever since becoming the Kansas City Chiefs' starting quarterback in 2018, he has led them to at least the AFC Championship Game and won three Super Bowls in four appearances, while collecting five MVP awards (two regular-season and three Super Bowl) in the process.

But as he will readily admit, none of that may have happened had he not been studying Alex Smith from the bench as a rookie. Speaking to SiriusXM on Wednesday alongside his predecessor, Mahomes said:
It is now 2024, and the Chiefs have a chance to do something unprecedented: win three straight Super Bowl titles.
Such an achievement would elevate them, and especially Patrick Mahomes, to another level of greatness that could even surpass Tom Brady's. But ever since preseason began, the initial excitement has largely dissipated.
But it is not as if they stopped believing that it could and would happen – they still do. It is just that other teams have become wary of it and are planning accordingly to prevent it from happening.
The Chiefs host the Detroit Lions, who defeated them in last season's Kickoff Game, this Saturday in a preseason matchup. Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m. ET. They open their 2024-25 season at Arrowhead Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5.
