Additionally, the fans’ support for the players and the teams continues to grow drastically.

Mahomes said, “I’ve seen Brock play since college, I knew how good he was.He was a winner, and he made plays happen all through his college career. Usually when you can make it happen in college, no matter what your surroundings are and turn around a program like he did at Iowa State, you’re going to make it happen when you get your opportunity in the NFL.”
He further added, “So I wasn’t very surprised he’s had the success that he’s had because he’s a winner and he’s a guy that goes out there and competes, and I’ve always said, more than a football player, you’ve got to be someone who competes, and he’s always been one of those guys.” This Sunday, we will all have an answer to the debate of who the better quarterback is as the Chiefs take on the might of the 49ers.
