The *Madden 99 Club* rating ties him with Tom Brady, who also achieved this milestone four times during his illustrious career. This achievement puts Mahomes alongside Brady as one of the most respected and celebrated quarterbacks of all time, further fueling discussions about Mahomes’ growing legacy.
“It’s humbling to be mentioned in the same conversation as Tom,” Mahomes said in a statement.
“I’ve always looked up to him and his work ethic, and to reach this level is a testament to the team around me and the work we’ve all put in together.”
The Chiefs organization, fans, and the broader NFL community are celebrating Mahomes’ achievements as the quarterback continues to raise the bar in both financial terms and on-field performance.
