Mahomes not entertaining GOAT talk

Patrick Mahomes will enter the NFL history books with an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl if his Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday but the quarterback is in no mood for legacy talk.

He certainly wasn't going to take the bait about whether he is entering the conversation about being the 'GOAT' - Greatest of All Time.

"I'm just trying to be the greatest Patrick Mahomes that I can be," Mahomes told reporters.

"I mean, that's obviously a goal of anyone's is to be the greatest at their profession, but in order to do that, you have to be the greatest that you can be every single day.

"That's on the field and the work ethic I put in or off the field in the father and husband that I am."

Mahomes would earn a fourth Super Bowl ring on Sunday, putting him joint second on the all-time QB list and three behind legendary quarterback Tom Brady.

"I'm going to try to be the greatest in that way, and whenever I'm done with football, if I leave everything out there the way that I feel like I have so far, as far as effort and mentality, I'll be happy with the results and I'll let others talk about who the greatest is," he added.
