A cryptic Tom Brady tweet might have signaled an ultimate quarterback showdown on the links featuring Patrick Mahomes.

Over the weekend, a mysterious tweet emerged from Tom Brady‘s Twitter account (which has gotten far more entertaining over the last few months or so) that made everyone stand up and take notice.

Tom Brady is already a lightning rod for attention given his standing as arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, a living legend who refuses to allow age to stop or even slow his march toward… further greatness? It also doesn’t hurt that he’s married to a supermodel and/or is recognizable the world over.

Back to the tweet in question. On Sunday, Brady leaned on Twitter to tag the three other quarterbacks who could be considered the best in the game right now (Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers) and left it at that. If it sounds cryptic, it is.

From there, you can imagine the questions, the hype, the jokes, and the guessing games that went down, and the responses were exponential the moment that Mahomes decided to retweet it himself. At that point, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback let everyone know that there was some sort of mystery and that he was already in on it. It wasn’t just some drunken Brady moment.

Well, as it turns out, the entire affair might be a preview to a showdown later on this summer during the NFL’s dog days. Specifically Jeremy White of WGR 550 radio in Buffalo, New York stated that such a showdown featuring Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Mahomes would be settled on the links, which makes a lot of sense for an NFL offseason and the typical ways in which we see players interacting for charity or other such events.

The idea of Mahomes and Allen playing golf against each other is likely not going to be must-see television for most people, including diehard fans of their respective teams, but the truth is that we’ll likely pay attention all the same knowing there’s so little else happening in the world of football when White says the quarterbacks are supposed to tee off against the other. Hopefully it will serve as a precursor to another matchup to come in the ’22 season.
