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!!!

All the talent in the world.. All these accomplishments.. All the money you could dream of.. Everything still in front of him.. And hes still humble, and grounded, keeping his faith and family at the forefront. I'm SO glad this guy plays for my team.

I know people that knew him at Texas Tech, and literally every one says he is the nicest, most humble person you will ever meet. By all accounts just a spectacular human being.

As a Chiefs fan I just still can't believe he is a real person and that he is OURS. I have to pinch myself every day

[BrokeTheSeal]

The Netflix docuseries Quarterback is so good and shows just how much work and pressure they go through and hearing what’s happening on the field is amazing. As a lifelong Eagles fan, I finally see how good Andy Reid truly is and this kid Mahomes… he’s pretty special.

Patrick Mahomes is a great ambassador for the NFL.

[elizabethborgman]

He's a class act! He's an awesome player but an even better person!! I love to watch him and the Chiefs play!! Go Chiefs!! ❤💛🏈💛❤️

[markmauer]

This gentleman is a terrific and humble man in addition to being a WINNER!!! I can't believe my team is blessed to have him! MVPat

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

Patrick is one in a million! What a time it is to be a KC Chiefs fan❤❤

[jeffmoore]

Hardest working man in football.
He deserves every ounce of success.

[Crutchcollectibles]

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

[olareynolds]

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❤

i just still cannot believe that Patrick Mahomes is the qb of my chiefs. how on earth did we get so lucky

[csbnm]

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.

[giuseppinasanger]

I knew nothing about the NFL and just watched the entire documentary. That’s how good it is. I’m now a massive Mahomes fan. He’s a genuinely good guy, and what a tremendous competitor. Other worldly.

[robertpalatsky]

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.

[stacybishop]

He deserves all of this! I love watching him play. What a great guy.

[CBaller]

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!

[victoriabrown]

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.
