When Tom Brady announced his retirement after a legendary career, it sure felt like the end of an era. But fans swiftly recovered, when Patrick Mahomes emerged as his successor– winning three Super Bowl rings at the young age of 28. The elite quarterback still has a long way to go until he finally takes over after Brady’s legacy of 7 rings.
However, it appears that the Kansas City Chiefs star has already earned the respect of his peers to be called a ‘GOAT,’ in their opinion. The Buffalo Bills’ Von Miller, who is struggling with his form at Buffalo, showed high respect for Mahomes on social media.
He commented on the quarterback’s latest post of flaunting his three Super Bowl rings, with a goat emoji on Instagram– showing his utmost respect for the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
This isn’t the first time that the linebacker has spoken about Mahomes in this manner. Back in 2022, Miller praised Mahomes by calling him the “definition of a Hall of Famer.” That was before the Mahomes’ consecutive two Super Bowl rings, which established the Chiefs as a dynasty in the league.
Drafting the Texas alum in 2017 was truly the best decision made by the Chiefs as he transformed the franchise into a leading Super Bowl contender with six consecutive AFC game appearances and four Super Bowl appearances in the last five seasons. Miller was indeed right when he said there hadn’t been anyone who played gridiron like Mahomes.

With the huge success of the Chiefs in recent years, their fanbase has developed a great sense of pride in the team. Given, that even the critics haven’t been able to deny the Chiefs’ success and potential for future endeavors. That’s why, when Miller called the three-time Super Bowl champion a ‘GOAT,’ it sparked a wild reaction on the internet.
One fan wrote, “He wants to join us so bad lol,” another wrote, “Bills need to cut that man so he can fulfill his life long dream playing with Pat.” Here are some of the fan reactions:
The overall consensus was a rather shocking reaction to the Bills’ linebacker calling the rival team’s quarterback ‘the Greatest of All Time.’ There was also an outcry for the Bills to release Miller so that he could finally join the dominating force of the Chiefs and play with the quarterback whom he respected the most.
