Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes has set his sights on being the greatest quarterback to have ever played the game according to his Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
Mahomes clinched his second Super Bowl ring as he led the Chiefs back from 10 points down at half-time, throwing three touchdowns as his team defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 on Sunday. The 27-year-old joins Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Eli Manning and Terry Bradshaw as quarterbacks who have won two Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards in a Super Bowl.
But Reid suggested that Mahomes, whose father Pat was a professional baseball player, has his sights set even higher. "He grew up in a locker-room and he has seen the greats and he strives to be the greatest. Without [him] saying anything, that is the way he works. He wants to be the greatest player ever, that is what he wants to do and he goes about his business and does it humbly," said Reid.
