The verdict on the Kansas City Chiefs drafting Patrick Mahomes
Opponent: Texas Christian
- It’s unbelievable how rarely he sets his feet and steps into his throws
- Delayed blitzes/stunts/twists cause Mahomes BIG problems
- Batson makes plays out of no play
- Great throw on the run to Reginald Davis III for a TD
- Batson bailed Mahomes out on what would have been a sure interception
- Costs receivers yardage with high throws
- With time, he can still struggle to find an open receiver or throw one open
- Hangs on to the ball TOO LONG TOO MUCH
- Overtime scramble for a TD! WOW!
Opponent: Texas
- Good catch by Willies with defender draped all over him
- Willies is a tough receiver who runs well after the catch
- DIME to Giles late in the first quarter
- Giles tiptoed the sidelines beautifully on early TD grab
- Maybe the best game I’ve watched Mahomes play
- Flashes the potential to succeed at the next level in this game
- 3rd & 15 Houdini escape act (second quarter play)
- Keeps cool despite collapsing pocket (third quarter play)
- Great throw on a fade route (would-be TD to Cantrell)
- Batson tough run after catch for a TD
- Like how he keeps his eyes downfield with chaos around him
- Willies has the look of an NFL receiver (big guy who can run)
- LASER to Cantrell (fourth quarter play)
- DIME to Giles for a near TD
- GREAT touch to Cantrell on shallow cross
- Mahomes has a tell (dips the ball below his waist just before delivering it)
- Cantrell having another day!
- Tough pick to nullify a great comeback
