Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes vows to shut critics as Tom Brady provides offseason guidance
Having come up short against the Philadelphia Eagles in February,
Patrick Mahomes
has been working quietly behind the scenes for redemption as the sports world wonders if the Kansas City Chiefs' dominance is coming to an end.
That talk, he concedes, hasn't escaped him—but he's poised to answer back the only way he knows how: by letting his game do the talking.
But he's not doing it alone—he's being assisted by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.

The Kansas City Chiefs will begin the 2025

season against the Los Angeles Chargers and then enter a high-pressure rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts.
The first part of the season is filled with challenging games—something Patrick Mahomes is aware of but not afraid of.
Speaking with Kay Adams ahead of training camp, Mahomes made it clear that he's using the offseason doubts as fuel. 'I've had to sit back and just listen to people talk and talk. Let's just play football and handle it all out there,' he said.

That competitive mindset is being shaped in part by Tom Brady, who, despite his new roles with the Las Vegas Raiders and a soccer franchise, has carved out time to mentor Mahomes this offseason.
"I've talked to Tom a good amount this offseason, and it's cool that he wants to give me advice,' Mahomes said, suggesting that Brady's input has been pivotal in helping him mentally reset.
In the meantime, tight end
Travis Kelce
is all about football, even with a whirlwind of Hollywood rumors. As he gears up for potentially his last NFL season, Kelce has also made an appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, coming out on Netflix later this month. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a long-time fan of the original, intends to rent a theater out for the team as a team-building experience.

Tommy Mellott set to follow Julian Edelman's footsteps as Tom Brady backs Raiders' next QB-to-WR project
Tommy Mellott steps into Tom Brady's Edelman-inspired blueprint (Image via: Getty Images) Julian Edelman's journey from a college quarterback to Super Bowl MVP is the kind of NFL transformation legends are built on. Nearly two decades later, Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders appear ready to recreate that success story with rookie Tommy Mellott now stepping into the spotlight as their next potential quarterback-to-receiver conversion project. Tom Brady 's Edelman blueprint reimagined in Las Vegas Julian Edelman's NFL journey began with a mistake, a botched hook route during OTAs that drew Tom Brady's wrath. But instead of folding under pressure, Edelman used the moment to fuel his relentless development as a slot receiver. Fast forward, he became Brady's most trusted target, particularly in pressure-packed playoff moments. That exact transformation could now inspire the Raiders' approach with Mellott. Brady, now part-owner of the franchise, saw firsthand how Edelman turned himself into a reliable wideout. And with the Raiders' selection of dual-threat Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott—who lacks the NFL arm but has the speed, vision, and grit—the writing is on the wall: a position switch is underway. Tom Brady & The Las Vegas Raiders LOVED Tommy Mellott In The NFL DRAFT... Lance Zierlein pegged Mellott as a 'QB-to-WR' project with serious potential. Mellott doesn't just have impressive athleticism; he has the mental toughness and football IQ that make such transitions work. In 2024, he racked up 2,783 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and over 1,000 rushing yards—proof he can make plays in multiple ways. Raiders' offseason moves signal trust in Mellott's shift The Raiders' decision to draft another quarterback, NDSU's Cam Miller, immediately after selecting Mellott points to a clear strategy: Miller is QB3, Mellott is a receiver in the making. Mellott has already embraced that challenge, highlighting his past experience playing multiple roles, including wide receiver and special teams during his time at Montana State. Meanwhile, the Raiders recently waived second-year quarterback Carter Bradley, further thinning their QB room and solidifying the roles heading into camp. With Geno Smith as the starter, Aidan O'Connell as the backup, and Miller as the developmental arm, Mellott's path to a WR spot looks open.

The transformation won't be easy, but with Brady's backing and a proven template in place, Tommy Mellott could be the next great quarterback-turned-receiver story the NFL needs.
