As we know, they often lead to explosive downfield passes.
“You would think that he is like a soccer dad or something, built the wrong way, with no muscle at all. He doesn’t look athletic but like he is really fast for him to be looking like that. He’ll really surprise you and then obviously the arm talent is crazy. So, he’s definitely special.”
Tyreek Hill couldn’t help but marvel at Mahomes’ exceptional arm talent and overall uniqueness as a quarterback. He highlighted the positive impact Patrick Mahomes has had on the team’s morale, adding how his presence contributes to a more optimistic atmosphere within the group.
The Kansas City Chiefs made a game-changing move in the 2017 NFL Draft when they selected Patrick Mahomes as their franchise QB. This marked the beginning of a successful partnership, with Mahomes and Hill, forging an on-field bond over four seasons.
