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]
It's funny, but none of this news is new. He said all of this when he originally signed his contract. Media talking heads either forgot or ignored it. [Reply]

Heard another AFC GM claim that the first round pick is basically a coin-flip and the percentages go down from there. Our GM appears to disagree and KNEW from day 1 that Pat was the real deal. [Reply]

Yup. On the Andy Reid New Heights podcast, Andy said that Veach not only pushed for him, but said Mahomes was the best player he had ever seen. [Reply]

Pivot: apparently Mahomes fixed Trey lance's shit during those camps Pat held a month ago or so. Guess we'll see in preseason.
Come on Patrick, draw the line at helping QB’s that could stand between us and another SB championship. [Reply]

They ignored it. Cause its their job to get clicks. Mahomes doing the smart thing and focusing on winning and not taking a mega contract is boooooooring. So if they can stir the pot to maybe somehow get Mahomes to think otherwise, its good business for them.
God, imagine having a job like that. Where you have to be the most unlikable schmuck in an attempt to get clicks, all in the name of "journalism". I think I'd rather jump off a bridge. [Reply]

I know it is still pretty early on in his career, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this Mahomes fella has a pretty decent chance of panning out for us. [Reply]
