NEW ORLEANS – Patrick Mahomes is off to the best start to an NFL career ever.
With a win Sunday, not only would he be the first quarterback to win three Super Bowls in a row, he would become the first quarterback to win four Lombardi Trophies before turning 30.
While Tom Brady still has a hold on the title of the NFL’s GOAT, Mahomes could unseat Brady.
But Danny Amendola, who won two rings with Brady, said a win Sunday may be necessary to get the conversation going.
“I think the first step would be to three-peat. Would be something nobody’s ever done before,” Amendola said of his fellow Texas Tech alum in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
“He’s a great quarterback, man. Time will tell. He’s still young, gonna play for maybe another 10 years at a high level. It’s wild, and it’s scary to know he’s been to so many Super Bowls. And he’s taken his team to a championship level every year. It’s up to him. It’s great to be a fan, to watch, to support. I’m a friend of his. We went to the same university. So, I’ll always support Patrick. It’s great to see him be so successful.”
Amendola is also a fan of Olipop, a fiber-filled, prebiotic soda with no more than 50 calories per can.
“I’ve been a huge fan of them for a while now. It has classic soda taste with the benefits of a functional drink. So, it’s good for you. It tastes good. They have 15-plus flavors. Can find it at Whole Foods, Target, a bunch of places. It’s a great way to drink soda,” Amendola said.
Like most former players, Amendola appreciates the Chiefs.
“It’s so hard to get to the playoffs, to put together a successful season. To get to the big game is everyone’s goal, and to win it is unbelievable. I know how hard it is to get there,” he said.
But he even took it a step further. While Amendola owes much of his success to Brady, he acknowledged he is rooting for Mahomes this weekend.
