Patrick Mahomes received more respect after the end of Super Bowl 58 because he won the Chief's third Super Bowl in five NFL seasons. Mahomes won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020, 2023, and now in 2024. He made the Super Bowl in 2021 but he lost to Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At 28 years old, Mahomes has now won his third Super Bowl ring and has placed himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

Tom Brady is regarded as the greatest NFL quarterback of all time because of his seven Super Bowl rings. He won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterbacks with the second most Super Bowl wins are Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana, with 4. Mahomes is now ranked the third quarterback with the most Super Bowl wins, with 3 tied with Troy Aikman. Mahomes still has a long career ahead of him, and his trajectory could be thanks to inspiration from Lionel Messi.
