Patrick Mahomes is already “No. 2 in the GOAT conversation,” says the former NFL star

Patrick Mahomes isn't even 30 yet, but a former Pro Bowl wide receiver already has him on his Mount Rushmore.

The Kansas City Chiefs star just turned 29 last month, and if he wins the Super Bowl again next February, he would be the first QB to ever achieve four wins before his 30th birthday.

Before winning his second ring, Victor Cruz told Fox News Digital that another title would put him in “Joe Montana territory.”

Well, all he's done since then is win both his second and third rings and lead this year's Chiefs team to 6-0.

All told, the former New York Giants star already has Mahomes as his second-best quarterback of all time.

“For me, I can’t put him above (Tom) Brady yet, but he’s right there. He’s 1A, 1B for me,” Cruz said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

Brady may have seven titles, but Cruz said that because of his great talent, Mahomes doesn't need to reach that mark to eventually overtake Brady one day.

PATRICK MAHOMES RIGHT TO HIS “DAD BOD” FOR VIRAL TOUCHDOWN VS. 49ERS

“I think he’s more physical than Tom Brady ever was,” Cruz added. “If you look at his age and his previous successes, he can play until he is 40 and not have to move around in the pocket so much and throw the ball downfield and still be successful. We'll see how long he plays and what his career length looks like, but looking at where he is in his career right now and trying to get a three-peat, it could be really scary.

However, Cruz said he needed a few more Super Bowls for the feud to officially begin.

“Until he wins a few more bowls, I can’t put him above Brady. No. 2 in the GOAT conversation,” Cruz said. “If he gets to five points and continues to keep his team relevant year after year, when we look at the numbers it will be crazy just to see where he scores and just to see when it's all said and done, where.” That’s him, because what he’s done so far is something very special.

Mahomes' Chiefs are undefeated despite season-ending injuries to Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown – Isiah Pacheco also broke his leg in Week 3.

However, Kansas City just acquired DeAndre Hopkins as their quest for an unprecedented three-point goal is in full swing.

In 102 games played, Mahomes has 80 wins, 29,813 passing yards and 225 touchdowns. His 292.3 yards per game is the NFL's all-time record.
