Following Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, sports pundits were quick to begin the conversation on its impact on legacies.
Are the Chiefs a dynasty after winning two Super Bowls in four seasons? Where does the second ring put Andy Reid among all-time great head coaches? Is Mahomes already one of the best quarterbacks of all time?

Wherever pundits land on Mahomes’ place among the great quarterbacks to play the game, one thing is clear – the father of the two-time champ is quite impressed with his son.

“I just know how he is, his competitive nature,” Mahomes Sr. told Fox News Digital before the Super Bowl. “I knew that once people started saying that he wasn’t going to be able to do this and do that, that he was going to go out there and grind and make sure that he was as prepared as he could be and go out there and try to prove some people wrong.”
