I don't remember who posted it or in which thread, but Mahomes gave an example of a long play call from college and it was around 12-15 words. [Reply]

I would love to see the link to that, but since the Red Raiders never huddled I am not sure how he would have ever been calling plays like that. I know he made adjustments at the LOS. [Reply]

Wrong. There were plays which relied upon extended verbiage.

Correct.
Why are we debating this? Who gives a fuck? The kid is not a dumb meathead, FFS.
You know who interviewed and put this kid through the paces?
