I am a 70 year old woman who has been a lifelong football fan. I just have to say that I love everything about this young man. He is the real deal on all levels… quarterback, husband, father and friend. I can’t wait for the season to start because he brings joy to my heart. He is a treasure! Thank you, Patrick, for being you!!!

I've said this before, but it rings so true still Living through Grbac, Gannon, Smith. Not tasting even the AFC championship since Montana... It's been long and its been rough. I feel so blessed to be enjoying this now. I'm 39 and been rooting for the kingdom since I was 7. Every year I would say "Chiefs are going to the Superbowl!" I would hope against hope every game. Down by 14 with a minute and a half left?No biggie! We'll score and onside recover real quick and go tie it right up. So much hope and faith I had. It still seems so surreal to be experiencing this era. All those childlike hopes made into reality. 32 years. 32 years have I waited. Let downs, false hopes, straight up embarrassments. All for this!

[@gtr1952]

I've been a Bills fan for 60 years and I don't get to see a lot of Patrick. I have learned though that he is indeed a fine young man! He is kind, honest and has those strong family values that have been lost in some circles. I just love it when he is a roll model for my grand kids. With so many things out there that can send them down the wrong path, it makes me appreciate Pat even more. If I ever got to meet him I would tell him exactly that. I have also always liked Nate, he's a great one also!! Peace and may God Bless 8) --gary

[@olareynolds5658]

I Love to watch Patrick play. He's play with passion and very competitive, yet respectful. I see him as a kid enjoying the game and having fun playing it❤

[@csb78nm]

First off, great interview by Nate. The underlying message is that while you need talent to be great, the defining characteristic is a dedication to doing the hard work. That is truly inspiring, even to a fan. "I just need to get 1% better every day." That is something we can all aspire to and achieve.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Even as a Giants fan, SO MUCH RESPECT for all three QB's in the docuseries "Quarterback". Thank you to all three guys for being so open and honest. I hope we get tow see more seasons of this with other QB's.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

I'd love to see the season from a rookie QB's/potential breakout starter's perspective- maybe Bryce Young or Desmond Ridder. Would still love to see that star QB perspective such as Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, or Jalen Hurts. Finish off with the "Kirk Cousins" type such as Geno Smith or Derek Carr. We could follow the same cast as last year, but it'd be interesting to get different guys every year- like a QB1 type of show.

[@Crutchcollectibles]

What an absolute spectacle. Best player ever at his sport (my opinion) phenomenal human though and humble. You don’t see it often

[@CBaller2020]

This young man is the absolute definition of a role model. Humble, grateful, loves his wife and kids, and so damn appreciative. What a fantastic human being! No wonder Kansas City is proud!

I know he now belongs to you KC fans, but I am really proud of this guy, a fellow Texan. I remember him at Texas Tech, which has a tradition of great QBs. One of his Tech coaches said "We didn't really have to coach him. He had natural ability and instinct. Ok Pat, get out there and do it, and he would."

[@victoriabrown3836]

This is an amazing exchange between two men sharing their experiences. Great dynamic between the two; Nate's questions were exceptional and he created a lot of fun with how he asked them. The small ways that Nate revealed his own life experiences created a beautiful bond between he and Patrick. Equally, Patrick's thoughtful answers and references to his own life revealed much about how he lives and what his life goals and expectations for his own performance are, both in football and daily experience. I'm so happy to have seen this longer version of the piece that I originally viewed.

MY FAVORITE OF ALL PER SAY. THE BEST QB IN HISTORY. PATRICK MAHOMES THE GREATEST OF ALL🎉

Pat is a gamer. On and off the field. He has things figured out perfectly and he enjoys what he does. You can tell.

[@williamdillard5060]

The old folks used to say that "they raised him/her right. This the type of person they're talking about. If Mahomes stays healthy there is a great chance that he will bring comparisons to MJ/ Lebron, Gretzky, Steph, Serena, Pele, Hank Aaron, Jack, Tiger. A very humble and gracious young man. I personally believe that Super Bowl victories are an organizational achievement so I don't count rings. Patrick Mahomes is on track to be The GREATEST QB ever. I only wish continued success for Mahomes and his family.

"I want to be remembered as a great Quarterback but remembered more as a better person." This right here is what it is all about. For us Kansas City fans we have our Michael Jordan and for these next 10+ years, do not take it for granted.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

So much respect the player, but more importantly the person that PAt is. Seeing him in the docuseries, yelling at Coach Reid for not letting him go back into the game towards the end of the SECOND QUARTER. Showed his competitive fire, but also how he wanted to be there for his teammates, even though x-rays came back negative and he played the second half, knowing how painful it would be, but still finding a way to get the job done.
