“…Pat Mahomes is just, I think, the way that he plays really reminds me of myself and I say that with the utmost amount of respect and humility.

“I think I love watching him play because he runs around, he makes throws all over the place, he knows his passes and he does it with, you know, enough balance between swagger and humility,” Rodgers said on the podcast.
