Before Super Bowl LVIII, he addressed some of the criticism he’s received.
“It’s a normal arc of someone’s career,” he said at the time.“Honestly, I think a lot of people were rooting against (Patrick) Mahomes because he’s been there.They want to see people new.
“It’s just part of an arc when you do something at a very high level.I think that’s normal.Same thing happens in football.You become dominant at things, and then all of a sudden people are like, ‘OK.’ Then at the end, Tiger Woods comes back and everyone roots for you.It’s just a normal arc of a career.It’s not abnormal.It’s absolutely what’s supposed to happen.”
