Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

That plus the throwing shoulder injury probably hurt Pat's accuracy on some of those throws.
He did manage to bring the A game for the Baylor game over Thanksgiving. I think he knew it was gonna be his last college game and he wanted to bring special effort for it. They hit some huge plays in that game. Seemed like the entire first half was Tech hitting 60-80 yard bombs for touchdowns.

How do you know this. Mahomes told Gruden he was trying to throw 85 yards but the ball wobbled and he could only get it 78. I think there's more to this story. [Reply]

NFL teams are very thorough at the combine. If he had a shoulder that would have leaked out as many other medical red flags did. [Reply]

Would need Smith to have a bad year, he'll need to understand the system enough that he can equal or surpass what Smith offers, has to work on mechanics/footwork/decision making AND he has to beat Smith in training camp. Or... Smith retires or has an injury that prohibits from playing. [Reply]
