For Mahomes, it is also easy to give Lamar Jackson his flowers, especially this season in which he is the MVP frontrunner. He said: “The way he’s able to score the football… I’ve admired watching him from afar and I know it’s going to be a great challenge going up against him.
He’s going to be the MVP for a reason. He goes out there, he leads his team, he scores, he runs, he throws. He does whatever it takes to win, and that’s what the greats do. I knew we were gonna play in a lot of games like this as our careers have gone on, and I’m sure this will be the first of many.”

“I don’t like competing against him at all.”
