Tom Brady has built an incredible résumé that may never be matched. He's a seven-time Super Bowl champion with three MVPs and a plethora of NFL records to his name.

While there's no question Brady is the most accomplished quarterback in NFL history, there's a belief that Patrick Mahomes can one day surpass him as the greatest of all time.

During a conversation with Kevin Hart this past weekend, Brady was asked which quarterback from today's game can possibly duplicate his success. He didn't hesitate to show love to Mahomes.

"I just think Patrick - I love his mentality," Brady said. "The great players that I've played with, Patrick has their mentality. He has the will to win. He's got a desire every time he takes the field to be a great leader. I listen to what guys say after they win, I listen to what guys say after they lose. Everything he says is the right thing."

Brady added, "He's got a great coach, great general manager, great ownership, and the parts around him."

Even though Brady and Mahomes shared a few legendary battles on the gridiron, the respect between them is always on full display.

Prior to Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes had this to say: "I have so much respect for Tom, and he’s been someone that’s given me so much advice in my career."

A year earlier, Mahomes referred to Brady as the greatest of all time.

"He is the greatest of all time, and I like being compared to him, but I still have so long that I have to go in my career if you look at the longevity, the consistent greatness that he had every single year," Mahomes said.

Only time will tell if Mahomes can catch up to Brady.
