Patrick Mahomes never wants his NFL career to interfere with him spending time with his family.

“I’ve looked, if I played until Tom [Brady]’s age, my daughter would be 19, 20 years old,” the quarterback, 28, told Time in an interview published on Tuesday, April 16. “I would love to play that long. At the same time, I want to be there for my daughter. If I can do that, I’ll continue to play. But if I feel like it’s taking away from my family time, that’s when I’ll know it’s time to go.”

Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl winner, recently led the Kansas City Chiefs to their second consecutive championship, defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas in February. Brady played in the NFL for 23 seasons and won seven Super Bowls before retiring last year.

“Tom’s skewed people’s brains on how hard that is to do because of how well he took care of his body,” Patrick added. “So I’m about to make sure that I get rid of this dad bod if I want to play to 45.”
