The two-time Super Bowl winner has proven to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time despite being just 28 years old, with his qualities as a leader continuing to shine through
After winning two Super Bowl trophies and two MVP awards with the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Patrick Mahomes wouldn’t be blamed for taking it easy throughout the preseason.
He has rarely taken the field as the Chiefs look to save their superstar signal-calling for the regular season, when they will look to challenge for another championship. But Mahomes has hardly been taking it easy throughout the last few months, working hard in practice to be back to his incredible best – while being the leader and teammate that the organisation needs him to be.
According to reports, Mahomes has continued to build relationships with all of his teammates throughout the roster. The quarterback hugely celebrated when backup quarterback Shane Buechele led a touchdown drive in their game with the New Orleans Saints.
Buechele could well be one of 37 players who will be cut from the team next week, with every NFL team needing to cut their roster down from 90 to 53. Mahomes is not looking forward to that day. Discussing how he feels when teammates get cut, he showed the selflessness and empathy which has made him so popular in the locker room.
