Patrick Mahomes is only 28 years old and he’s already one of the greatest competitors in the history of the NFL. This week he won his third Super Bowl, which puts him on pace to break Tom Brady’s all-time record of seven rings before he’s done playing. We don’t have any clue how they might get it done, but the other 31 teams around the league that don’t have Mahomes on their roster have to find a way to catch up.
Seahawks defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones took to Twitter yesterday and lamented the fact that Mahomes has won three rings in five years, while he hasn’t even made the playoffs yet.
Fun facts nobody cares about but me…
This dude has lead and won 3 Superbowls in my 5 seasons in the league. And I haven’t been to the playoffs ONCE FXKKKKKK

A strong interior defensive line is one prerequisite for winning in this league – Mahomes or no. If the Seahawks are going to get a chance to test their mettle against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl any time in the next few years, they’ll have to dramatically improve this unit.
It’s difficult to say at this point whether or not Jones will be part of it going forward. While he’s only 27 years old, Jones’ contract makes him a candidate to get traded or cut this offseason. If Seattle decides to keep him, Jones will need to step up his production to justify the three-year, $51 million deal he signed last March.
