Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady once led the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl appearance after edging Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 AFC Championship game. After the grueling contest, the two star quarterbacks shared a special moment with each other.

Brady recently spoke about the famous encounter he had with Mahomes, who won MVP that season and talked about how he loves interacting and getting to know the up-and-coming stars emerging in the league.

Via Logan Mullen of the New England Sports Network:

“There are a lot of young players who are a lot younger than me at this point – basically everybody – so when I get a chance to meet them, (I do). I’m always watching football – that’s what I love to do – I love watching young players, see how they’re playing the position and see if I can learn anything from them.

“He had an incredible year that year and (when I was) playing for the Patriots, [we] played them and had a great game against them and won the game. It’s a tough loss at the end of the year – I’ve been a part of those, too. Wasn’t much more than that.”
