Blaine Gabbert sits in an exclusive spot among NFL backup quarterbacks.
Prior to joining the Chiefs in April to serve as Patrick Mahomes’s backup, Gabbert spent three seasons as Tom Brady’s backup with the Buccaneers. The veteran signal caller was privy to watching greatness in Brady—who won his final Super Bowl in Tampa Bay—and now enters a Kansas City franchise fresh off a Super Bowl LVII victory.
As the 33-year-old prepares for his 13th NFL season in Kansas City, Gabbert told reporters that Mahomes and Brady share very similar mindsets in their preparation to play at an elite level.
