Mahomes, Watson Comparisons 'Never Gonna Leave' Mitchell Trubisky, Says Nagy
Mitchell Trubisky will forever be compared to Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson since they were all quarterbacks in the 2017 NFL draft class.
Even his own coach knows it.
"What I would say with Alex [Smith], here's a No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, he's being compared to Aaron Rodgers his whole career," Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. "Same thing, it's never gonna leave Mitchell, being compared to Patrick and Deshaun."
Alex Smith was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft but was surpassed by Rodgers, who is an all-time great and was the No. 24 pick in the same class.
