Travis Hunter of the NCAAF Colorado Buffaloes gave his opinion on who is the best quarterback in the league, Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes or Baltimore Ravens great Lamar Jackson. The answer was resounding and unequivocal, participating in one of the most heated debates.
The question is given in the context of the matchup between Chiefs against Ravens in the opening game of Week 1 of the 2024 National Football League, when Kansas defeated Baltimore 27-20, with a great performance by Mahomes.
“I’m definitely going with Patrick Mahomes,” Hunter said without a second thought on his YouTube channel. “He’s a three-time Super Bowl champion. Two consecutive. I have to go with Mahomes,” the Buffaloes quarterback concluded, adding that he would definitely pick him to lead a team over Lamar Jackson.
Hunter made it clear that his example of a winning athlete is Mahomes and does not allow any other position. The college football star is turning his back on the two-time NFL MVP and star of the Chiefs, who are a two-time championship contender in the 2024 season.
