Patrick Mahomes: Reid Made Me The Quarterback I Am Today

It’s fair to say the drafting of Patrick Mahomes by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017 was the right move.

Since then, Patrick Mahomes has won two Super Bowls, two Super Bowl MVPs and two MVPs in five seasons. He’s also been to five Pro Bowls and five AFC Championship games.

There is no question in the mind of Patrick Mahomes who is responsible for his success: Andy Reid.

“He’s meant the world to me, he’s just the best,” Mahomes said of Reid. 

“He’s the best coach, obviously, one of the best coaches of all time, but he’s just one of the best people of all time. He learned how to get the most out of me every day. He doesn’t let me be satisfied with where I’m at, he teaches me a ton. Not only the quarterback position, but how to be a leader and how to be a great dad and how to be a great husband. 

“He lets me be who I am every single day. I think if I’d have went to some other places, I would’ve had to learn how to play the quarterback position a different way, and he just lets me play the quarterback position the way that I want to play it. I think that’s what’s made me such a different type of quarterback in this league.”

“I think everybody thinks about legacy and how they’re remembered, but I think you have to think about that and at the same time evaluate every day how you can become better,” he said.

“How you can really maximize every single day, and then whenever your career’s done, you have no regrets. And I think that’s what I’ve always preached is it’s not about success of that day. It’s about having no regrets at the end of your career. I think that if you work hard every single day and put everything you have into the game, then when you look back at the end of your career, however many trophies you have or however many Super Bowl rings you have, you’ll have no regrets.”
