Tom Brady made history in the Super Bowl. He led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl win in 18 years. It was a spectacular achievement for Brady. He was able to win his 7th Super Bowl ring, more than any other franchise. But one former Super Bowl winner believes Patrick Mahomes can surpass him for most rings.

Former Super Bowl winner Rod Woodson spoke to Rich Eisen recently. He believes that there is only one player playing presently in the NFL that could surpass Tom Brady for Super Bowl rings – Patrick Mahomes.

He noted that the Chiefs‘ roster is really good and young, as is Mahomes, and most of their future is tied up, and Mahomes can capitalize on that to surpass Brady for rings.

“So they have the bulk and the core of that football team together. They still have the coaching staff intact. If anybody in the league can do it which, it could be Mahomes.”

Quarterbacks in the NFL, over the past few years, have shown that they can easily play into their 40s, like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, and others.

Furthermore, Mahomes also has some of the best offensive players in the NFL by his side. Players like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill had excellent seasons last year, albeit a poor showing in the Playoffs.
