So, he knew him even before he threw his first football in a normal NFL game. And he was floored right from the moment he met him. Johnson couldn’t stop showering praise on him. “He is amazing and that he is an extremely smart quarterback, knowing how to win games, uh he can throw the football with accuracy from any platform.”
All this coming from a former Cowboys coach. He also addressed another reservation people had about Mahomes. They say that he is not very athletic. But Johnson shut them down with just three words: “Watch him scramble”.
Agreed, he may not be the king of the rushing game like Lamar Jackson, but he’s certainly not very behind on the list. And then the HC said something that any QB would kill to hear.

He’s just 28. And has already made NFL history with six AFC Championship Game appearances, four Super Bowl appearances, and three championships. His three Super Bowl MVP awards are unmatched by any active QB. And Mahomes is the first QB since Tom Brady to win back-to-back championships. Patrick Mahomes is also the second player ever to earn consecutive Super Bowl MVP honors, a feat Brady never achieved.
