""He's just the true Chiefs' Chief," Mahomes said. "He's the guy that's been here through the whole thing, being here with Coach [Andy] Reid the entire time. He helped set the culture of what it means to play for Coach Reid and for Kansas City. I was able to come in and have that guy to rely on.""
""He's breaking all the records now. He's all about the team, so I wanted to make sure he gets that [ball], and hopefully we can get another ball for him later in the season when he breaks the record.""
""I just cherish these moments, man, being able to play at Arrowhead," he said. "This place is special and I love it here. In terms of the historical stuff, I'm still looking at the next game and the next catch and trying to get better. "I'm just the old, lucky dog still able to do this thing. I'm putting on the pads like I'm 15 years old again. I'm loving every single bit of it.""
