Jordan Love embraces Patrick Mahomes comparisons, success of black NFL QBs

INDIANAPOLIS — Utah State quarterback Jordan Love has long had his eyes on the NFL, so the fact he tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV is hardly a shock.

While Love was partly watching out of sheer interest in his favorite sport, he also had a personal rooting interest.

Over the past several weeks, he has come to realize that the continued success of Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is not only making his tricky draft evaluation easier, he’s also giving his draft stock a boost, almost by proxy.
