Tom Brady calls Mahomes 'very resilient' following ACL tear

Tom Brady is sharing some helpful advice with Patrick Mahomes, who recently underwent knee surgery due to his ACL tear.

In a recent chat on Let’s Go! podcast on Monday, December 15, Brady, who also tore his ACL back in the 2008 NFL season, expressed his thoughts on Mahomes' injury, noting that it's "a tough" one but he praised the Chiefs quarterback, calling him "very resilient."

“He’s going to work extremely hard to get back,” the former NFL star said, who four more Super Bowls after his recovery from ACL.

Host Jim Gray asked Brady what piece of advice he would share with Mahomes, to which Brady responded, saying that the 30-year-old athlete should keep in mind that this is part of his career and “other people have gone through it," too.

Brady went on to say, "You've just got to put as much diligence into the rehab process."

"I always feel like the faster you rehab, the faster you can get back to practicing the sport that you know you love. I think sometimes people will pace themselves. Instead of training mode, they're in rehab mode. I think you got to get through rehab mode as fast as possible, and then you get back to training mode," he explained, adding about rehabbing that way “requires an all-out commitment.”

“When you go through the rehab process, you need that same level of focus and determination. It's a tough rehab. It's one of the toughest rehabs," he added.

It is pertinent to mention that Mahomes hurt his left knee late in Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
