Patrick Mahomes has established himself as the best quarterback of our time and has become a personality even off the field.
His competitive spirit and talent have made him a great leader for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The franchise’s attack is built around the signal-caller’s great qualities and abilities.
At 28, Mahomes has already won three Super Bowl titles and is on his way to a fourth.
It’s natural that with all the fame and success comes more responsibility to deal with the whirlwind of things that happen.
The task of facing the media
As KC’s greatest leader, it’s normal for the weight to fall on Mahomes’ back, especially after a defeat.
Often during the season, players give press conferences to talk about the game, their impressions, what was done well and what can be better exploited/corrected for the next game.
They need to face reality as it is and remain calm even in the most difficult moments.
The media can be cruel – and anyone who thinks that the players themselves are on the sidelines and don’t keep up with what’s being said about them is mistaken.
Pat Mahomes, in an interview on the Riggles Picks podcast, commented a little on his strategy when it comes to dealing with press conferences.
“It’s part of the profession. It’s part of being a quarterback and having to stay on that podium and talk win or loss. And yeah, I think what I’ve done and mastered is being able to say a lot of words without saying anything at all.” said
“That’s my go-to whenever I get a question I might necessarily like; I’ll just say a lot of different words, but it really means nothing,” he admitted.
Mahomes’ script for answering questions
Kansas City’s quarterback confessed that, whether he likes the questions he’s asked or not, he basically spits out a few words that make sense syntax-wise, but don’t actually mean anything.
In the podcast, the hosts tested Mahomes to see what his answer would be to a question about a hypothetical game.
“Yeah. I mean, it’s always great to get out there and do whatever you can to try to find a way to get a win, but at the same time, it’s not always going to go your way,” said Mahomes. “And so for us, it’s about going back to the drawing board, putting in the work, and then seeing what we can do next week.”
