Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes lists the three quarterbacks he enjoys watching most, embraces being ‘the old guy now’

Along with being the reigning Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes is the proud owner of another, albeit unofficial title. Mahomes recently said he proudly wears the title as the NFL’s new “old guy” quarterback, despite the fact he is still just 28 years old. 

While he’s still young, Mahomes is right in that he is the new face of football’s most essential position, taking the baton from Tom Brady after the seven-time Super Bowl champion retired two years ago. And speaking of other quarterbacks, Mahomes also recently shared the three quarterbacks he enjoys watching most. 

“There’s a couple,” Mahomes said on FS1’s “First Things First” this week. “I like watching Josh [Allen] a lot. We play a lot of similar opponents. He plays a similar style of football that I do. So I always watch what the Bills do and try to take some things that he does. 

“I like watching C.J. Stroud a lot now, man. He’s been out there and he’s making plays happen. And then I would say probably Joe [Burrow], just because we play the same teams, so watching him play definitely gives me some ideas of what we can do as an offense. 

“But I mean, the thing about the NFL now is there’s a lot of great quarterbacks,” Mahomes continued. “I’m kind of the old guy now and I have to kind of hold that title as the old guy, but I’ll try to continue to do whatever I can to be the best that I can be.”
