Patrick Mahomes is Joe Montana: Ravens' Wink Martindale hails Chiefs QB

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Two months after comparing Baker Mayfield to Brett Favre, Ravens defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale heaped high praise on Patrick Mahomes.

"I think Mahomes is [Joe] Montana -- I'm taking about the San Francisco Montana and not the Kansas City Montana," Martindale said. "I think how everything is cyclical and history repeats itself. I think you're seeing that combination between Andy [Reid] and Mahomes of Montana and Bill Walsh. I really do."

Montana, who finished his career with the Chiefs after 14 years with the 49ers, is considered one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, winning four Super Bowls and two NFL Most Valuable awards.
