Patrick Mahomes won his second NFL MVP award last season

Appreciating these facets of Mahomes’ game, former Denver Broncos‘ two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning heaped praises on Mahomes in his article on the official TIME magazine website.

“You can learn a lot about a person by the way they treat eighth-graders and ninth-graders during those hot days in Louisiana. Patrick was great with the kids. I remember his arm strength back then. It jumped out at you,” Manning wrote.

“Patrick is setting new bars,” Manning continued. “All these young players around the country are trying to imitate his sidearm throws and incredible plays. But I hope they know he’s also an incredibly hard worker. He appreciates the cerebral part of the game. And he understands his platform, as the MVP quarterback of the Super Bowl–winning team.”
