Mahomes: The humble Chief of the Chiefs

Throughout the season, Mahomes has shown some great humility. He has admitted mistakes and given his teammates the credit that is due to them. Just earlier this season, the young leader of the Chiefs credited his teammate for an achievement that sometimes goes overlooked. He credited his defensive end for a win in OT without hesitation. The quarterback has always shown great maturity and humility as the leader of the Chiefs.

With the regular season coming close to an end, Mahomes and his Chiefs seem ready to jump into the playoffs rush. The Chiefs sit in a good position, owing to the herculean efforts of the team this season. It only remains to be seen how well Mahomes will command his troops in the playoff battles.
