Mahomes reveals Brady gave him advice this offseason

Patrick Mahomes, star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, revealed that he had several conversations with NFL legend Tom Brady over the summer. Speaking on the "Up & Adams" show, Mahomes said:

“I’ve talked to Tom a good amount this offseason. It’s been cool that he’s willing to give advice — he doesn’t have to do that. I’ve always had a ton of respect for him, and I’ll take any advice he gives.”

According to Mahomes, one of Brady’s biggest messages was about the importance of being authentic:

“People can tell when you’re not being real or when you’re not putting in the effort. That’s something he did every single day — and it’s why people respected him so much.”

Mahomes also mentioned how Brady’s recent comments — suggesting Mahomes is capable of eventually surpassing Brady’s achievements — served as motivation:

“For him to say that, it drives me even more. I’ve got a long way to go, but it’s encouraging.”

Now entering his ninth NFL season since being selected 10th overall in 2017, Mahomes has already played in five Super Bowls, won three rings, and set multiple records as a passer. He holds a 17–4 playoff record, with two of those losses coming against teams led by Brady — including the Super Bowl LV loss to Brady’s Buccaneers.

Mahomes was also asked about his mindset heading into 2025, following a tough defeat to the Detroit Lions in last season’s AFC title game. He made it clear that this isn’t about revenge:

“When you lose, you obviously want to get back at it... but I think for me, it’s about being quiet and letting people talk, while I go play football and handle it the right way.”

The Chiefs will open their 2025 season in Brazil on September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
