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]
We can all look at Patrick Mahomes' arm and the 10 TDs ... but his mental recognition at the line of scrimmage before the snap shouldn't be overlooked. pic.twitter.com/sLLvrcg1UQ

He’s got the arm and the brains.
Yep, Arians said he had multiple starting QB's that needed 2 years to pick up stuff that Mahomes understood in a single meeting. The kid is a freaking wizard lol [Reply]

If he can win games not just with his physical ability but also his mental ability... yikes. Good luck NFL.
Then you marry him with one of the great NFL offensive coaches there has ever been and one of the best sets of weapons we’ve ever seen and it’s easy to see how they might break some big time records with a little bit of good fortune along the way. [Reply]

You never got the best of him or saw him rattled when he made mistakes. That's important, because if you play long enough, you're going to do some things you regret."
Smith was most impressed by how adeptly Mahomes handles pressure. Reid saw that same combination of calm and confidence in his quarterback when he interviewed Mahomes prior to the 2017 draft. Reid is known for grilling prospective signal-callers, but Mahomes never cracked after talking Xs and Os for hours that day. In fact, when general manager Brett Veach, then the team's co-director of player personnel, peaked his head into Reid's office following that meeting, Reid just smiled and said, "You know, this kid is pretty smart."

That’s it.
That's true but there is also Nick Foles with 7 TD/0 INT and 6 incompletions. [Reply]

Erving is always, always the first person to celebrate with someone who scores a touchdown. That dude hustles his ass off to beat everyone else to celebrate. [Reply]
