Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes insists he is humbled by his latest Super Bowl appearance.
Mahomes is preparing for his fourth NFL title match in the space of five years on Sunday as the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.
Having won two of them, Mahomes’ success by the age of 28 has led to predictions that he could go on to emulate Tom Brady’s record of seven Super Bowl triumphs.
It’s humbling because I never thought I would be in this many Super Bowl games, honestly,” he told reporters at a media conference.
“You strive to be great but you understand how hard it is to even be in this game, and for us to be in my fourth one in my sixth year of starting truly is remarkable.
“I don’t take it for granted because you never know if you’re going to be able to be back in this game.”
Brady won six of his Super Bowls with the New England Patriots in what was considered one of the game’s greatest dynasties, but Mahomes is reluctant to discuss the Chiefs in such terms.
