The grit of Patrick Mahomes

Being the quarterback of a team is one of the most stressful positions on the field. They control the whole offense of their team and face off against the other teams’ defense. In the case of the Super Bowl, Mahomes maintained a brilliant mentality as he went on to win his second Lombardi trophy. His mentality was so tough that even his opponents from the Eagles spoke about how well he played.

Eagles’ defensive end, Brandon Graham spoke about the kind of demeanor he had in the game. Per Sports Illustrated, he said, “When the first half came [to an end], we were in there and I was more thinking like, ‘What’s his name (Mahomes) went in there on the sideline and he’s looking like he’s hurt. We’ve got to get to him, we’ve got to get to him.’ He came out, you can tell how tough he is, man.”
