Patrick Mahomes is one of the most elusive and most talented quarterbacks in the NFL today. So it wasn’t a surprise that Broncos coach Vic Fangio had high praise for the Chiefs quarterback during his media availability on Monday.
“I think he’s like John Elway was in the 80s and 90s,” Fangio said. “He’s that guy. Like Aaron Rodgers has been for the last 12, 14 years — however many years he’s been starting. He’s kind of that guy. He’s the great passer, the great improviser. He plays with a lot of athletic arrogance, which is a compliment. He’s very confident in his ability.
“He’s very poised, he doesn’t get rattled and he’s got an arm that is really, really good. He can make all the throws they are asking him to make and some that that are not even asking him to make that just show up in his improvisations. He’s good in the pocket, has good pocket feel. You can tell he’s a gamer. They guy is really, really special.”
After earning NFL MVP honors last year, Mahomes if off to another hot start this season. Through six games, Mahomes has thrown for 2,104 yards and 14 touchdowns against just one interception. He’s going to be a tough test for Denver’s secondary on Thursday evening.
