LeSean McCoy has an extremely rare distinction.
The former star running back won Super Bowls with both Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, two of the greatest quarterbacks of the modern era.
Brady won a record seven Super BowlsGettyThe six-time Pro Bowler won his first Lombardi Trophy in 2020 when Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers.
A year later, Eagles Hall of Famer McCoy joined Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning Super Bowl LV against his former team the Chiefs.
Now retired, the 36-year-old McCoy joined the All The Smoke podcast in January to reveal the similarities — and differences — between the superstar signal callers.
“Some of the similarities I would say, [are them being] competitors,” he said.
“Brady ain’t trying to lose at nothing. Like, he’s all nice and all that, but he turns it on when it’s time to win. He just love to win, bro, at all costs.
“Pat [is the same], because he’s himself. He doesn’t try to act like something he’s not. He’s his own person.
“You can see the greatness. When you see the real greats, you see the difference [between them and everyone else].”
The 2013 rushing leader also revealed that when he went to the Bucs, Brady showed a keen interest in Mahomes, who many deemed his heir apparent.
“When I went to the Bucs, Brady was low-key asking me about Pat,” McCoy added.
McCoy was then asked the million dollar question by hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson: “Can Mahomes surpass Brady?”
Mahomes and Brady are two of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL historyGetty McCoy thinks Brady and Mahomes are both competitors but the Chiefs QB is more advancedYouTube@AllTheSmokeProductions“Yeah, it’s gonna be a lot, though,”McCoy said.
“It ain’t gonna be easy. But I think where they’re today, I think he’s [Mahomes] way more advanced than Tom.
“You look at just the MVPs, how fast [he’s got there], the yards.
“The worst we’ve ever seen Patrick Mahomes is an AFC Championship game. I mean, you know what I’m saying?
“Every year he’s going there. And he’s the main reason.
“I think some of Brady’s seasons, he was still just getting up there, learning a little bit, you know, letting the defense kind of play it out.”

Brady is the consensus NFL GOAT with more Super Bowl titles (seven) than any team.
TB12 became an icon in New England alongside legendary head coach Bill Belichick, leading the Patriots to 17 division titles (including 11 consecutive from 2009 to 2019), 13 AFC Championship Games (including eight consecutive from 2011 to 2018), nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Super Bowl titles.
He then moved to Tampa Bay in 2020, winning his seventh and final Super Bowl against Mahomes’ Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
The 47-year-old Las Vegas Raiders minority owner retired holding most major quarterback records, including most career passing yards, completions, touchdown passes, games started, career quarterback wins, quarterback regular season wins, and quarterback playoff wins.
He completed 64.3 percent of his passes for a truly staggering 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdowns, and a 97.2 passer rating.
For many, his legacy is unassailable, but in recent years Mahomes has done his best to insert his name in the GOAT discussion.
At 29, he’s already a three-time Super Bowl winner, three-time Super Bowl MVP, and two-time MVP.
There aren’t many things Brady hasn’t done in football, and this year Mahomes fell just short of one of them.
His reigning, back-to-back Super Bowl champion Chiefs were one win away from claiming the first ever Super Bowl three-peat — three consecutive Lombardi Trophies.
Not even Brady managed that, although he did come close in 2005 after his Patriots went back-to-back as Super Bowl champions in 2003-04.
Brady’s 7 rings will take some beating, but if anyone can it’s MahomesInstagram / tombradyHowever, the Pats ultimately fell a couple of rounds short of a three-peat attempt, losing to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round.
Brady did make it to three straight Super Bowls between 2016-18, but New England lost the middle one, ruining their chance to repeat, let alone three-peat.
Mahomes made it all the way to the big game, but the Eagles dominated a one-sided contest.
