Patrick Mahomes is on list of 10 most important NFL people but for an unlikely reason
It’s not surprising to see Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on a list of the NFL’s most important people, because he’s already won a league MVP award and a Super Bowl MVP award.
But The Guardian released its list of the NFL’s most important people and Mahomes was third because he needs to do more this season.
Author Oliver Connolly writes that Mahomes “has lived a blessed life early in his career.” But with wide receiver Tyreek Hill having been traded to the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes will need to up his game, Connolly writes.
Here is an excerpt from his story: “Hill was a once-in-a-lifetime field tilter that made life easier for his quarterback and the pass-catchers beside him. He imbued the whole offense with a sense that there was no deficit that was insurmountable.
“Mahomes will have to strike up an instant connection with his new supporting cast to lead another postseason push. He has lived a blessed life early in his career – the ideal coach, franchise and supporting cast. The Chiefs’ roster remains one of the most talented in the league, but it’s now over Mahomes to raise the level of those around him.”
Mahomes is behind 49ers quarterback Trey Lance and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. You can read the whole story here.
