Patrick Mahomes' best moments with Chiefs, as told by his teammates: 'It's one after another'

by

MIAMI — The legend of Patrick Mahomes keeps growing with every jaw-dropping play the Chiefs quarterback makes. The more he does to defy logic, the less other Chiefs are surprised.

Sunday's Super Bowl 54 matchup against the 49ers isn't the last big game in the rise of the NFL's most dynamic player. For Mahomes' teammates, it's only the next one, much like the first.

Mahomes and receiver DeMarcus Robinson have connected on several dazzling long pass plays. But it was something non-football that stands out to Robinson. It occurred before training camp in July, when Mahomes was working out with a few pass-catchers that included Robinson, Gehrig Dieter and Travis Kelce in Turks and Caico Islands.

Robinson recalls most just how unrelenting Mahomes was in a late-night game of ping pong.

“I thought we had an MVP for the first time I saw him, just hanging out with him," Robinson said. "When he was playing against Gehrig, he was so competitive, the ball was going so fast, I knew I couldn’t compete with him — nobody could have. He wanted to win so much, it was amazing. I saw that laser focus.”
