Getty Marcus Peters celebrates during a Ravens game.
The Baltimore Ravens are facing a huge challenge from the Kansas City Chiefs this week on the field, and some of their best defenders know exactly the challenge they will be up against in Patrick Mahomes.
Cornerback Marcus Peters played with Mahomes before coming to Baltimore and knows what makes him special. As he said, he has always been a player who has loved the game, and that is something he loves and respects about the player More than that, though, Peters wants everyone to know that Mahomes is simply someone he thinks is a great player.
Peters said:
“He was my teammate for a year before I played against him. The guy, he’s a Super Bowl champ, MVP of this league. He’s a hell of a player, man. A guy like that, you just have to respect his game.”
Additionally, Peters said that he long saw the talent in Mahomes. More than that, though, he saw a player who loved the game and was driven to succeed.
“I respect somebody who loves the game like Mahomes does.” @marcuspeters
As Peters explained:
“I knew he had the talent, I knew he loved the game. Those are the two ultimate things that can help you. I just respect someone who loves the game of football like he does. It was fun with him being my teammate while I was there.”
Indeed, Mahomes loves the game and it’s a fun challenge for a team like the Ravens to match wits with him this week on the field. So far, he’s 2-0 in his career against Baltimore, and it will be interesting to see if the Ravens can match up with him well enough this time in order to get a win.
Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes Will Make History
When the quarterbacks square off for yet another head to head matchup in their career, history will be made. It’s the first time that a pair of former MVP winners who are 25 years old or younger will do battle.
History will be made in Baltimore next Monday night, when Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes go head-to-head.
It’s the first matchup in NFL history between former NFL MVPs, both age-25-or-younger, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Obviously, Jackson vs. Mahomes has the potential to turn into the league’s new hot rivalry not unlike Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady was for the last few decades. Not even those players were able to make the kind of history early in their careers that these elite passers have and will, however.
Jackson will be looking to score his first win head-to-head against Mahomes. In his career, he’s put up 2 touchdown passes against the Chiefs and only 527 total yards. Obviously, those are lower margins
Regardless, Mahomes and Jackson each have an MVP on their mantle, and the Baltimore quarterback is chasing down the next big award that Mahomes just secured. It will be fun for NFL fans to see history made before their very eyes in primetime.
