What Patrick Mahomes Thinks of His QB Rivals

In just five seasons as a starting quarterback in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes already has redefined the position. He's led the Kansas City Chiefs to five consecutive AFC Championship Games, three Super Bowl appearances, and two Super Bowl victories. His career passer rating of 105.7 is the best in NFL history. He's been named the league's Most Valuable Player twice. But it is his wondrous style—the sidearm throws, the no-look passes, the improvisation he displays whenever he appears to be in trouble—that leaves even many of the game's legendary players breathless. "I think a big part of it was that playing quarterback felt creative to me," says Mahomes. "I loved that creativity, making things happen."
