You can add Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen to the long list of people that love Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Allen and Mahomes are part of the new generation of quarterbacks that have taken the torch from all-time greats like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Ben Roethlisberger.
We're likely in store for many more memorable matchups between Allen and Mahomes over the next decade.
On Thursday, Allen made the rounds at radio row at the Super Bowl and he stopped to talk to Yahoo Sports.
One of the questions that Yahoo Sports asked Allen was about his relationship with Mahomes.
Allen noted that the two aren't "super close", but they've gotten to know each other over the years.
What impresses Allen the most about Mahomes isn't necessarily his skills on the field — it's who Mahomes is off the field.
"I've got so much respect for him, not just as a football player, but as a person," said Allen of Mahomes. "You know, his charity and what he does for his community there in Kansas City."
"You can't find anybody to say a bad thing about Patrick Mahomes. And for him to do that, given the ramifications of winning the playoff game and going to the AFC Championship and overtime, to go say, what's up to Kelce after he scored the touchdown, and then straight to me, that was one of the cooler things as a competitor I've ever seen."
Allen is absolutely right — you can't find anyone who says a bad thing about Mahomes (except maybe opposing defensive coordinators that get frustrated trying to defend against Mahomes).
Mahomes might be from Texas, but there isn't a better person around to represent Kansas City.
