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]
Didn't even realize he led the NFL. And to think he's missed 3 or 4 true bombs.
QB's who have completed the most deep passes this season (ball travels at least 20 yards past the line of scrimmage, through the air): 1 - Patrick Mahomes (16) 2t - Matt Ryan (12) 2t - Kirk Cousins (12) 2t - Case Keenum (12) 5t - Mitch Trubisky (11) 5t - Deshaun Watson (11)

Yes. I probably should have mentioned that, Mr. DRM08. Thanks. Tessitore does a whole lot of college work, too.
He was very familiar with THT's game at that level. And Bucky used that factoid during his introduction.

Reid routinely uses a trust test with his quarterbacks, asking them after certain plays during practice or games what he saw from the defensive coverage. Reid said Mahomes almost always breaks down the coverage exactly the way it unfolded.
"Not every quarterback can spit that out to you," Reid said. "The thing about Pat is he's blessed with this great vision. He sees everything out there."
