Tyreek Hill says what makes Patrick Mahomes a great leader is he isn’t afraid to call out the entire offense and the star players on the details in front of everyone
“Pat a different dude, and I'm going to tell you how he’s 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.”
“Me 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.”
“Pointed us out, looked us in the eyes and said, ‘Bro, Reek, you think you so fucking fast, but you can’t catch the damn ball. And you want to be the best receiver in the game?’ 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, it’s go time now. That put so much, I don’t know what it put in my fuel, in my heart, bro.”
“That 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 don’t. It's like, bro, I’m not going to let nobody down in this circle right here no more. And we started killing after that.”
“And that’s 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.”
“Because 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.”
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned is that there’s real strength in asking for help. It takes courage to speak up when things aren’t OK, but that courage can change everything. To all the men out there, keep your heads up. Life is tough, and some days—or even years—will feel unbelievably heavy. But remember, nothing stays dark forever. The sun rises, and there’s always light waiting at the end of the tunnel. Good things do come, even if they take time. So stay in the fight. You owe it to yourself and to the people who care about you. The world needs you here. #International_Mens_Day
