Tom Brady makes bold comments about Patrick Mahomes in first Fox Broadcast as Raiders owner

Tom Brady has officially made the leap from NFL legend to the broadcast booth, and in his first Fox broadcast as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, he certainly didn’t go unnoticed. During Fox’s NFL pregame show, Brady’s hologram appeared alongside analysts Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw, setting the tone for a broadcast that would be closely watched-especially with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes under the spotlight.

Brady’s new dual role as both a TV analyst and part-owner of the Raiders has raised questions about how objective he can be when discussing AFC West rivals like Mahomes and the Chiefs. The balancing act was on full display during Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Brady’s commentary, particularly about Mahomes, quickly became a focal point of the broadcast, igniting conversation across the NFL landscape.

One of the most talked-about moments came when Brady remarked on Mahomes’ unique style of play, saying, “He literally breaks every QB rule I’ve ever learned,” while adding that former Patriots coach Bill Belichick was probably “ripping his hair out” watching Mahomes defy traditional quarterback mechanics. Brady’s comments were a mix of admiration and humor, but they also highlighted just how unconventional Mahomes’ approach is.
