Patrick Mahomes' grandfather, Randy, is rooting for him from hospice care as the quarterback enters his third consecutive Super Bowl, his mother, Randi, tells PEOPLE. Patrick's grandfather has his bad days but is very aware of when the Super Bowl is and that his grandson is nearing another great success.

Nothing defines a quarterback's legacy more than a Super Bowl. While stats and personal accolades are nice, a quarterback's greatness is measured more by how he and his team perform on pro football's biggest stage.

Mahomes turned 29 on Sept. 17, 2024. He was the No. 10 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has played eight seasons with the Chiefs. Mahomes has 32,352 yards, 245 TDs and 74 interceptions in the regular season. Mahomes has a 102.1 career passer rating, which is second behind Aaron Rodgers at 102.6 in the all-time rankings.
