Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

I want to take a second snd give props to Frank Clark.
That dude is spending tons of time with the kid working on this exact thing. Timing the snap. Reading cues and getting an immediate advantage at the snap.
I know Cullen is making an impact on everyone across the board, but Frank deserves some acknowledgment for helping Furious George as well. [Reply]
Anyone else think that if that play happens with Mahomes at QB he just wings the ball against his body towards the back left corner of the end zone and tries to let his receiver (the guy Williams came off of to cover the underneath route) beat the safety since he'd have inside position and a lot of green in front of him?
But nobody else can/should try that.
EDIT: 2 high look - Mahomes probably puts it more to the middle and tries to split the safeties. But I'm betting he absolutely hucks that ball out there. Taking a sack there does nothing but set up a punt. Mahomes would rather just throw a pick than let that play die. [Reply]
Man - if Karlaftis doesn't make that move, Wentz has a TON of space up where he was rolling. He probably can't squeeze the ball in on that out route for the 1st down, but he can probably run it for 5-6 yards and set up a much easier FG. He probably should've been able to get to the 28ish had he gotten clear of the pocket. Karlaftis pretty directly took points off the board there by forcing the punt. [Reply]
It’s so cool going back and listening to pre draft and post draft stuff and listening to Veach and Borgazzi talk about having conversations about moving up to take Karlaftis but using their intel identifying v that they don’t need to and how they never thought McDuffie would be even a possibility to get with a trade up. Both Karlaftis and McDuffie look like top 5 pick quality players.
Veach and Borgazzi are true life cheat codes. [Reply]

And how many times have we seen just that in important games last year. Chiefs get pressure, but can't seal the deal on huge moments. [Reply]
