At age 27, Patrick Mahomes might be a little young to think about his legacy. But a player who already has two regular-season MVPs and two Super Bowl MVPs is a player who has already made a significant impact on the history of pro football.
Mahomes, however, says that his legacy will be defined by how he continues to improve, and that’s something he takes seriously, each and every 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.”
Given how long quarterbacks’ careers can last, Mahomes may have a decade or more to continue playing at a very high level. And if he’s serious about improving every day, that’s a scary thought for the rest of the NFL.
