When asked about facing the former 10th overall pick, Jackson was candid. “I don’t like competing against him at all,” he said of Mahomes, via The Athletic. “He’s definitely a great QB. Definitely a Hall of Famer. That’s a no-brainer.”

Jackson’s reluctance to compete against Mahomes is understandable. The Chiefs’ player is poised to join Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw, and Troy Aikman as one of only three quarterbacks to win three Super Bowls, and it seems like he won’t rest until he achieves it.
