Mahomes threw everything his way. And he got everything his way. Zero missed communications. Not a single Ross target touched the ground.
And then Ross got a few 2nd team snaps as well and guess who Gabbert threw to a bunch? Yuuuuup.
That was it for me. I don't care what his 40 time was. Or his size. The NFL is full of WRs who didn't have elite test numbers. If multiple QBs show the trust and preference for throwing a guy's way even in practice, that means he's clearly a valuable piece that has earned trust. [Reply]
