QB Expertise: Sony Michel Weighs in on Mahomes-Led Chiefs’ Dominance
This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Sony Michel, a Two-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriots running back.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Michel—who recently teamed up with Kingsford to host the ‘Kingsford College Football Tailgate Tour’ at the Georgia vs. Tennessee tailgate at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia— revealed his go-to grilling meals and his thoughts on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s growth after facing off with him twice during his first MVP season in 2018.
“I won’t say I have a specialty or a go-to; it’s all about what I’m feeling at the moment,” said Michel of his grilling preferences. “Sometimes you can be so versatile, throwing some wings on a grill. I’m a big wing guy; last night, I just decided, man, let me throw some burgers and hot dogs on for the kids, and myself and that’s what I did. The cool thing about it is that it is super easy and super simple; it’s just that it makes cooking so easy.”
Michel faced off against Mahomes and the Chiefs twice during the quarterback’s MVP season in 2018, including the memorable AFC Championship overtime game at Arrowhead Stadium. He witnessed his evolution and its effect on the team becoming a dynasty today.
“I did (see the Chiefs’ growth), especially having a good quarterback,” Michel explained. “I’m a big believer that you gotta have a good quarterback to win football games. They have one of the best in the game, and he can continue to do great things. We’re seeing that today. So we all knew it. We were all prepared for it, like just seeing it back then. We knew how effective he was, so it’s no surprise where they are today.”
