Move over Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning … according to Ryan Clark, Patrick Mahomes has now passed the legendary QBs on the all-time ranking list — rising up to No. 3 overall.
Clark made the bold statement to TMZ Sports right after Mahomes and the Chiefs beat the Eagles, 38-35, in the Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale … saying the big win has now put Mahomes ahead of guys like John Elway, Dan Marino, Manning and Rodgers.
That feeling when you’re a 2x champ in your first 5 seasons as a starter. 🏆🏆@PatrickMahomes | @Chiefs | #SBLVII pic.twitter.com/hWbKIZrPVy

The only two still ahead of him? Per the former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowler, it’s just Tom Brady and Joe Montana.
While it’s an eyebrow-raising claim, it’s one that maybe even Manning might agree with — ’cause just a day before Mahomes won his second Super Bowl, the former Colts QB told us the Chiefs star had already done enough to be considered a Hall of Famer.

The stats are super impressive — two SB titles, two SB MVP awards, two regular season MVP awards, and five Pro Bowls — especially when you consider he’s just 27 years old and has only been a full-time starter for five years.
Mahomes and K.C. will head into next season as the favorites to win it all again — and if he takes that one, could he pass Montana on Clark’s GOAT list? Only 363 more days to figure that out!
