“True leadership”: Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce shared confident take on Patrick Mahomes heading into postseason

Patrick Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl champion, has shown improvement in his quarterbacking skills this season, while Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has also shown improvement. Kelce joined "The Pat McAfee Show" to talk about the Chiefs' development and Patrick Mahomes' evolution this season.

Mahomes has led the team to six consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances and four Super Bowl appearances. He is one of five NFL quarterbacks to win three or more Super Bowls as a starter. His career accolades have earned him widespread praise from sports journalists and make him one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Travis Kelce is really confident on Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes, a 15-1 starter this season, faced numerous obstacles, often winning games late in the fourth quarter with incredible plays. Despite facing worse protection at points, Mahomes helped his team win those games, thanks to luck and areas that helped him become even better, as noted by Travis Kelce.

"I've seen Pat weather that storm and become better because of it," Kelce said on the Pat McAfee Show. "When the team needs him the most he steps up in ways he hasn't before. It happens year in, year out, and it's so much fun to be on a team with him because he's always going to take the bull by the horns and be the most accountable, be the one that puts it on himself more than anybody else, and that's true leadership."


Mahomes, a formidable quarterback, poses a significant threat to the rest of the AFC, despite the Chiefs' weaker performance. With four Super Bowl appearances in the last five seasons and three wins, Mahomes has become one of the greatest playoff quarterbacks in history. His continued improvement could potentially lead to his fourth Lombardi Trophy in a month.

He is one of five quarterbacks in NFL history to have won three or more Super Bowls as a starter. Mahomes's career accolades throughout seven seasons in the NFL have earned him wide praise from sports journalists, and he is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He became the only quarterback in history to throw for more than 5,000 yards in a single season in both college and in the NFL.

He was named to the Pro Bowl, first-team All-Pro, and won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and NFL Most Valuable Player awards for his performance in his first season as a starter. Mahomes is one of four black quarterbacks to win the AP MVP award.
