Tyreek Hill says what makes Patrick Mahomes a great leader is he isnβt afraid to call out the entire offense and the star players on the details in front of everyone
βPat a different dude, and I'm going to tell you how heβs a different dude. I can't remember what year it was, but we was on a bad streak. All his supporting cast was playing bad. Me, Kelce, D-Rob, Sammy, we all was playing bad. This dude called the whole offense up. He called the whole offense up. This was like on a Tuesday, I believe. He called us all up. He cussed all of us the out.β
βMe and Pat, we go back and forth, but that was a moment right there where he stood on business. And it was like, bro, I really respect this because he really just called out all his weapons individually.β
βPointed us out, looked us in the eyes and said, βBro, Reek, you think you so fucking fast, but you canβt catch the damn ball. And you want to be the best receiver in the game?β He was letting me have it. Then he went to Kelce. Then he went to D-Rob. Then he went to Sammy. Like, he went to all of us, calling us all out. And in that moment right there, I was like, yo, itβs go time now. That put so much, I donβt know what it put in my fuel, in my heart, bro.β
βThat next game, that's when we began to get things rolling. Because you never want to get called out by the leader of your team like that. You don't. You donβt. It's like, bro, Iβm not going to let nobody down in this circle right here no more. And we started killing after that.β
βAnd thatβs one thing that our quarterback, he going to add, you know what I'm saying, too. Because with Pat, we all had a relationship with Pat. We all hang out. We all do stuff outside of football.β
βBecause we all trying to win. That's the best, we all trying to win, man. Being able to have them tough conversations is needed, I feel like, bro, because that got us better. When Pat did it, it made me want to kick his ass, but it made me want to get better, man.β
