Chiefs' Justin Reid: Mahomes 'probably the best player in NFL history'

Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid believes Patrick Mahomes already has a strong claim to the title of the greatest NFL player of all time.

Reid talked up Mahomes in an interview with TMZ Sports, describing the Chiefs quarterback as a "force multiplier" who brings out the best in those around him.

"You can be down 24, you can be up 15. Whatever it is - as long as No. 15 has the ball in his hands, you know you've got a shot to win," Reid said. "So that's encouraging as a defense, that we just try to give him the ball as much as possible.

"The guy is a Hall of Famer. First ballot. Probably the best player in NFL history. And he just keeps getting better."

Through his first six seasons as the Chiefs' starting quarterback, Mahomes has won two Super Bowl championships, a pair of NFL MVP awards, and two Super Bowl MVPs. The 28-year-old is set to make his fourth Super Bowl appearance on Feb. 11 against the San Francisco 49ers.
