With his second Super Bowl victory, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has already established himself as one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history just a few years into his NFL career. He’s already impressed many people with his play on the field and his record-breaking performances, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is impressed by something else about him: his humbleness.
During his postgame press conference, Andy Reid discussed how Patrick Mahomes strives to be the greatest, but he does it very humbly.
“He grew up in a locker room. He’s seen the greats. And he strives to be the greatest,” Reid said in his postgame press conference according to Pro Football Talk. “I mean, without saying anything, that’s the way he works. He wants to be the greatest player ever — that’s what he wants to do and that’s the way he goes about his business. And he does it humbly. There’s no bragging. He can stand up here and give you these stats that are incredible that he’s had. But he’s never going to do that. That’s not him. So, we appreciate that.
“And then when it’s time for the guys around him to raise their game, he helps them with that. The great quarterbacks make everybody around them better — including the head coach. So, he’s done a heck of a job.”
Mahomes still has a long way to go if he’s going to catch Tom Brady and enter the conversation as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he’s certainly off to a good start.
