Josh Allen, C.J. Stroud, Joe Burrow are Patrick Mahomes’ favorite NFL QBs to watch

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is the consensus best quarterback in the NFL, but which quarterbacks does the already-three-time Super Bowl MVP admire from afar?

Burrow’s 2023 campaign was cut short due to a wrist injury, but he has amazed the NFL world for the better part of his four-year career. In 2021, he led the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl, and he helped get them back to the AFC Championship Game in 2022. Burrow threw for 4,400-plus yards and 34-plus…
