Patrick Mahomes is known to be an important figure among the Chiefs' team and has turned things around with his talent in the ongoing season as well. Along with Travis Kelce, Mahomes has earned both the respect and admiration of his teammate. By the way, Kelce is among his greatest admirers.
While talking to Men's Journal in July 2021, Kelce praised the QB and called him the greatest ever.
He's number one in my book, says Kelce. You can't tell me any different. I see it on a daily basis.
Kelce is not taking sides of Mahomes because they are teammates, but has valid reasons to believe in Mahomes. He has a knack of winning games from impossible situations. Mahomes has a high level of game awareness as well. Mahomes and Kelce are the best dual-threat QBs in the league.
Together they are a formidable pair and have over 8,900 yards from more than 700 receptions at an impressive 75% completion rate for more than 60 touchdowns.
