“He’s a special football player,” Mahomes said. “He finishes every single play, he catches and runs, he can do it all. I’m happy for him that he’s back home in Cleveland and he’s able to play really good football.”

The Chiefs have since won a Super Bowl title and have the distinction as arguably the best football team in the NFL with the best quarterback under center in Mahomes.
