Patrick Mahomes has always been a stellar teammate. He has never shied away from the responsibility of being a good teammate and a good quarterback. Recently, he led the Chiefs to a win against the almighty Texans. On the field, his excellence was very much visible. However, he shared his thoughts about a particular teammate who he thought played a crucial role in the team.
