Patrick Mahomes believes the NFL is in a ‘golden era’ for QBs
1 min read
When Tom Brady announced his retirement in February, the quarterback torch had officially been passed to a younger generation of top signal callers either in or about to enter their prime.
Among the best of that group is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who, in a recent interview with Complex, stated that he believes the NFL’s 2023 quarterback class just might be the most talented collection of passers in league history.
« You look back and you got like Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, freaking Troy Aikman, [John] Elway — there’s been some Hall of Famers that have all played in the same era,” Mahomes said. “But I think top to bottom, it’s hard to find a spot on any team [where] the quarterback’s not a guy that you can see win playoff games. … So, I think it’s definitely a golden era for the quarterback position. Maybe we don’t have those Hall of Fame guys yet at the top, but one through 32, I mean there’s quarterbacks that don’t even get a chance to start that are great players. »
