In a recent episode of Pro Football Talk, hosts Mike Florio and Myles Simmons opened up about which players they thought were the NFL’s public enemies. The journalist went with what he thought was the “obvious option,” as he chose Mahomes. The former guard said that the 28-year-old had made the Kansas City Chiefs so good, “that’s what makes them a public enemy.” However, his co-host, Florio did not see it that way. Instead, he added, “I would not encourage hating Patrick Mahomes.”

In fact, the broadcaster seemed to believe that the first spot should go to Saquon Barkley instead. However, he settled to place him second. After that, it was once again Simmons’ turn to add a player to the list. This time the journalist ended up choosing the New York Jets‘ quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. He stated, “I don’t know if I need to say much more other than Aaron Rodgers, just based on some of the things that we’ve heard him say over the course of the last, let’s call it two years or so. “

After all, the 40-year-old had been in the spotlight for more than his sporting achievements recently. In fact, after being a charming star for years, the last few years had fans finding out things about the athlete’s conspiracy beliefs and hobbies well against their will.

Even Patrick Mahomes was brought into it when Logan Paul asked the 28-year-old what he thought about the whole thing. The father of two stated, “I’m not gonna say I’m into all the crazy ones. I just know, out of all of them, one or two might be true.”

Mahomes also referenced the 40-year-old’s University of California education before adding, “That’s Aaron Rodgers’ vibe; I’m not him.” The younger quarterback might look up to Rodgers on the field. However, he has ensured that the similarities stayed there.
