OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUESince the take was made in January 2024, Mahomes won Super Bowl LVIII MVP (his third), led the Chiefs to a historic third straight Super Bowl appearance in 2025, and accumulated a resume that firmly places him among the all-time greats — including 3 Super Bowl titles, 2 NFL MVPs, a 78% career win rate (highest ever for a QB with 100+ starts), and the fastest player ever to reach 300 career touchdown passes. He suffered a lopsided Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles (40-22) in the 2024 season and his counting stats have statistically declined in recent years, but he remains widely ranked as the #1 or top-2 active QB and sits top-4 on most all-time QB lists. The subjective personal opinion that Mahomes is the best QB Russo has ever seen has only been reinforced by subsequent achievements.
