Patrick Mahomes drafts Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase at Super Bowl press conference

The Cincinnati Bengals came up during Super Bowl media sessions at least once, the most notable courtesy of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes, asked by 11-year-old NFL Network reporter Jeremiah Fennell to do a fantasy draft that doesn’t include Chiefs players, picked three wide receivers from the all-time pool:

• Randy Moss
• Tyreek Hill
• Ja’Marr Chase

That’s a huge nod for Chase, even though he had that “anybody but the Chiefs” comment about the Super Bowl this year.

Kidding aside, the Chiefs-Bengals rivalry has usually had a ton of respect around it, especially from the quarterbacks. Mahomes also name-dropped Joe Burrow in a good way after a playoff game recently.
