Tom Brady might have six career league championships, but it was Super Bowl 55 opposing quarterback Patrick Mahomes who was compared to Michael Jordan Wednesday.
chairman and CEO Clark Hunt discussed Mahomes' potential as an all-time great athlete, per Justin Parrish of 610 Sports:
"Yeah, it's amazing the success that Patrick has had so early in his career. I mean really more so than Michael Jordan had early in his career. It took Michael a few years before he won his first championship and Patrick, in year one, had us on the cusp of making the Super Bowl, and unfortunately, the Patriots didn't let it happen that year.
