The grit of Patrick Mahomes

Being the quarterback of a team is one of the most stressful positions on the field. They control the whole offense of their team and face off against the other teams’ defense. In the case of the Super Bowl, Mahomes maintained a brilliant mentality as he went on to win his second Lombardi trophy. His mentality was so tough that even his opponents from the Eagles spoke about how well he played.

Eagles’ defensive end, Brandon Graham spoke about the kind of demeanor he had in the game. Per Sports Illustrated, he said, “When the first half came [to an end], we were in there and I was more thinking like, ‘What’s his name (Mahomes) went in there on the sideline and he’s looking like he’s hurt. We’ve got to get to him, we’ve got to get to him.’ He came out, you can tell how tough he is, man.”

This is not the first time Mahomes has had to showcase his grit and determination. Even before he went on to play in the Super Bowl, the QB faced a lot of disrespect from other players. He faced a lot of flak from Bengals receiver, Ja’Marr Chase.

The Ja’Marr Chase-Mahomes conflict

Even though Mahomes has become a two-time Super Bowl champion, there are still some in the league who doubt his greatness. One of them was Ja’Marr Chase. The Bengals’ receiver has already started exchanging barbs with the Chiefs. During an interview, Chase was asked a question about Mahomes and his response was just, “Pat who?”. He did not show any recognition for the QB. His words went on to fuel the fire between the Chiefs-Bengals rivalry. Mahomes’ teammate, Travis Kelce even went on to reply to this on his podcast and berate the WR.

All in all, even though Mahomes faced a lot of talk from people, he has proven all his naysayers wrong with his actions on the field. It only remains to be seen how the QB is going to deal with the kind of talk he faces from his haters.
