Patrick Mahomes mentions Matthew Stafford as a QB he loved watching growing up
Matthew Stafford may not be considered one of the all-time great quarterbacks or a first-ballot Hall of Famer like some other players are, but he’s someone his peers love watching – Patrick Mahomes among them.
During his press conference on Tuesday, Mahomes was asked which quarterbacks he enjoyed watching while he was growing up. Though Mahomes was primarily a baseball fan, he named four passers he loved: Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Stafford and Tony Romo.
It’s hardly surprising that he liked watching Stafford when you consider how often Mahomes throws sidearm and no-look passes the way Stafford does, but it’s still awesome to hear Mahomes mention the veteran quarterback’s name in that group.
“If there was one quarterback, I would probably say I loved watching Aaron Rodgers, I liked watching Brett Favre, I liked watching Matthew Stafford – guys that were kind of extending plays, making plays happen. I liked watching Tony Romo a ton, growing up in that East Texas area,” he said.
Mahomes gets a ton of credit for his creativity and off-platform throws, but it was Stafford pulling those off first.

I think every announcer to cover a Chiefs, game, in the future, needs to read this first.
