I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the two QBs who got the farthest this year are vocally and concertedly open about their faith. People who don’t shy away from God tend to do better in life.

It’s also just awesome to see the guy who, at this point, is almost unquestionably the best player in the league pay homage to his God and stay so humble. Say what you will about the Chiefs and the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift circus, Mahomes is the man.
