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]

Ian Eagle said it best - "It defies physics!"
The throw to Kelce down the sideline against the Dolphins could arguably be the best of the bunch. Falling backwards throwing off his back foot, and he puts the ball 35 yards down the field in the one place it could be completed. That throw, or the TD to Hardman against the Saints. Just insane.

Patrick Mahomes describing his relationship with Chiefs C Austin Reiter: “With Austin, I’ve even opened up a Pokémon card with that guy before. So I think our relationship is kind of on a high level.” [Reply]

I waited almost 40 years for Patrick Mahomes. It was worth it. I promise I will never take it for granted.
This is a glorious time.
Gari Spani... One of my favorite all-time Chiefs. I was #59 in High School and College because of Gari... [Reply]

This is a lie. The reason it’s a lie is bc if it were true he wouldn’t have sat on his ass waiting for Patrick with an old declining Brees if he really thought this. [Reply]

This. QB is the most important position on the field and if what he said was true they would have reached out to grab him and sit him behind Brees a year and then cut Brees. He says this now as a sort of "I told you so". Only the KC front office and coaches saw his full potential which is why they were aggressive in giving up a first and third for him. [Reply]
