Patrick Mahomes' sprint into the record books deserves a deep rewind

Some of the best stories don't adhere to the rules: There's no middle act for Patrick Mahomes and the NFL: He was barely more than an unknown through most of his college days, then shot up draft boards thanks to his raw talent and scouting buzz. Still, he was panned for his decision making, throwing style and pretty much every other facet of his game that made him what he became. Which is kind of crazy, isn't it? Anyway, there's no montage here. Patrick Mahomes made the NFL believe almost immediately.

Being a chiefs fan in 2017 was a wild time. You just lost a home playoff game to a team that scored exactly zero touchdowns. I didn’t care about some kid from Whitehouse, Texas’ arm strength. I wanted the guy who had just led his team to two national title game appearances while winning the ladder one. I wanted a winner, and many guys coming out of the Big 12 hadn’t been. Especially someone with a losing record in college as a starter. Five and a half years on from the 2017 NFL Draft, I can more than confidently say that Veach made the right decision. I truly don’t care if we don’t make another super bowl in my life time. Patrick Mahomes brought so much joy to Kansas City and, personally to myself and family as well. Especially watching the game at the focal point of this video. A month before that game, I lost my father who happened to be a huge chiefs fan. He was around for Super Bowl 4 but didn’t remember it. This was the highest he had been on the Chiefs since Montana came to town, and losing him, and losing that AFC title game nearly two months later, broke me. I’m not ashamed to say I cried like a baby the night we won Super Bowl 54. That was years of pain, granted not as much as the Chiefs fan before me had suffered, but I was tired of getting to the playoffs and doing absolutely nothing. The fortunes of the Chiefs changed forever in April of 2017 and they’ll affect all Chiefs fans in a very positive way for a lifetime. Thank you Patrick Mahomes for all you do for this city, and all you mean to me

[@imchalk]

That was a fun time on Chiefs boards, Mahomes or Watson and there weren't many of us that wanted Pat back then

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

Alex Smith as good as he was just wasn't a Superbowl caliber QB. Just didn't have the stones to win a chip. Great guy but very average as a QB.

[@MrThemexacutioner]

I don't watch college football and had no idea who any of those QBs were. I watched QB camp with John Gruden and the combine and I knew I didn't want Watson. He couldn't even understand or remember simple plays. I was mad when we traded for Alex and wanted him out every game he started for us.

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

@ Tyler. Well said sir! Condolences on your loss. Truth be told, I myself have been a long suffering Chiefs fan, (50 yrs). I've shed a tear or two myself after tough losses. Anybody remember that 10 - 7 loss to Indy in 95? I remember a tough loss to Oakland in 98 knocking us out of a playoff berth despite being up 17 in the first Qtr. (Tough Times). 🥲 But now I'm good. I swear if they win at least one more chip, I'm good. No hate here. I've watched that AFC Championship game versus Tennessee about 20 times and every time I get goosebumps watching Sammy Watkins seal the deal with that Mahomes bomb. I'll always remember Pat running down the sideline towards the end zone taking a half time lead. Glorious!!! Go Chiefs!!!

1983 was the first time the Chiefs drafted a QB in the first round. They could have had Marino or Kelly but instead chose Todd Blackledge. That mistake made them afraid to try again for 34 years! It's been a challenge to be a Chiefs fan through those years, which makes this time so very special. Thank you for this video!

I also became a Chiefs fan that year. I was 10 years old and was beginning to realize that I loved football. No one in my family was a fan and I am from KY. At the time the Titans didn't exist so most people here were Bengals fans with a few Colts and (at the time St. Louis) Rams fans sprinkled in. I knew that I didn't want anything to do with those teams and to this day I can't tell you what made me gravitate towards KC. It was probably how striking that Chiefs red is compared to everyone else. Years later because no one likes to suffer alone I convinced my younger brother to join me. Honestly, bonding over Chiefs disappointment all those years was a huge factor in building the unusually close relationship that we have to this day. All of that made watching what 15 brought to this team even more special. Every Sunday since, there has not been a Chiefs game where one of us didn't text the other some version of "How is this guy on OUR team?" That is all for today, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

When I was three my parents let me choose my own team to be a fan of, my dad was a Saints fan and my mom, a Vikings fan. I'm colorblind and the only color I can see clearly is Red, so I really wanted to like the chiefs. Stuck with it since 2004 and though I'm too young to know all the history I would say it's been my favorite decision in my life. Watching the heartbreak of the Alex Smith era transform into what we have now taught me a lot in life. It's a genuine pleasure to be a Chiefs fan and being one of two Chiefs fans in all of North Dakota paid off eventually! I spent my college money to go see the chiefs win the Superbowl because I had said since I was a kid that if they made it to the Superbowl I would go if I could. I sure miss the money I spent now but the experience was worth everything and more. Same could be said about life as a chief's fan! I doubt anyone will read this, but it was worth saying, a small thing for all this team has given me.

[@PunkRockGuitarTabs]

As a life long Chiefs fans, I constantly remind myself that I need to enjoy every moment of the Mahomes era. I can't get used to the Chiefs being so amazing, because I remember how awful it was for so many years prior to Mahomes. This is such a special time and who knows how long it will last, but I really hope Mahomes is still around working miracles for the Chiefs in like 5 years when my little boys are old enough to start enjoying it. My oldest is only 3...his favorite athletes are Mahomes and Michael Jordan, but that's just because I always tell him how awesome Mahomes and Jordan are 😂

[@brooklynrenegade]

I drafted Mahomes in my 2018 fantasy football draft. I was hoping to get QB who would put up consistent average or above average numbers from week to week. I was worried when I missed out on getting Cam Newton, who was coming off an injury, as my backup QB just in case things didn't work out with Mahomes. I ended up dominating my league because Mahomes put up outrageous numbers every week. I retired from fantasy football immediately after winning my league because there was no way I was ever going to be that fortunate and derive that much joy from fantasy football ever again.

[@CMDRsprinkles]

Was there in the stadium for that game. The entire building had the smell of mystery, grace and bbq in the air. All we wanted to see was Patrick just kick ass and see this O shine. The MVP chants were awesome and even Raider fans joined in. Really a beautiful sight.

[@thiagoveloso7610]

I drafted this guy in the 12th round in my fantasy league.

Thank you Mahomes, greetings from Brazil

[@tabasco.15]

As a Texans fan watching, as I call it "The Meltdown", the Chiefs being down 24-0 was nothing to me. Everyone at my house was so hyped and I just knew the game wasn't even close to being a wrap for us. Some terrible play calling on our side like the fake punt but it takes a special kinda QB/team leader to not let being down 24 early at home phase you. Mahomes is a different breed and I love watching him play. That dude is a grown freaking man!

I was at this Raiders game 🤘 Been a Chiefs fan since the coach was Marty and the QB was DeBerg. Saw some playoff wins in the early years, but then KC settled into that long losing drought; no matter if they had 13+ wins or historic offenses or great defenses, it was easy to become acclimated to the expectation that the Chiefs would collapse in the post-season, and even after that win against the Texans in 2015 (which my family celebrated like it was a Super Bowl win), things went back to the normal Chiefs playoff shenanigans with the field goal game, Marcus Mariota catching his own pass, etc. Mahomes not only makes all of that a long distant memory, it's become something that I don't even associate with the Chiefs anymore. Even if, after his tenure is over, the Chiefs slip back into what they mostly had been for those decades between those classic 60s teams and Mahomes coming onto the scene, I'll be happy that I got to live to see a time like this for KC. Go Chiefs.

As soon as Mahomes made his debut as a starter I knew that this was going to be the most fun team to watch and its not even close. I don't have a home team, so I don't have the level of intimacy some people do with which team you root for -- all I can say is: if you want to watch the most exciting football, these Chiefs are the team to follow.

[@charlesrupp3976]

[@gatienlaurol5793]

This video is an example of why coaching matters so much to young quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes, with all his college flaws, could’ve landed anywhere else and probably wouldn’t replicate the success he has now because of Andy Reid’s tutelage and Alex Smith’s mentorship.

[@radamorann5128]

Imagine him in Chicago💀

[@dfp_01]

This. 100%. It's so common to take a look at all the 1st-round QBs 5 years later and put so many of them into the Bust Bin when really they lacked adequate leadership and support. Without Reid and Smith and all that talent surrounding him, I seriously doubt Mahomes would have even a fraction of the success he's had thus far in KC. I like to look at Josh Allen's development in Buffalo too-he wasn't good right away, but Sean McDermott clearly worked with him to play to his strengths and reduce his inaccuracy and it has paid off in the biggest of ways. Then you have somebody like a Sam Darnold who struggled for years because his coach was one of the worst in this century (and with guys like Urban Meyer and Bobby Petrino, I don't say that lightly) and because he had to start right away for a bad team in the depths of a rebuild. No draft room really ever makes bad picks outright, because there are always numbers and highlights to draw from, but you can't just leave a plant in a dry, dark room and expect it to grow.

@@loganleroy8622 Let’s be honest the vast majority of KC sports fans don’t care about the soccer team

[@tracejones5952]

I wouldn't exactly call KC a small market. I mean it's not huge but having all of Western Missouri, most of Kansas and a majority of residents in Omaha it's hitting over 5 million individuals in its tv market which is quite a bit bigger than places like Buffalo or Jacksonville and because of very recent success putting them more in the spotlight they have only grown since 2010.

[@tracejones5952]

For example: There is now a chiefs fan base in Northwest Arkansas that didn't really exist before 2010.

I've been a Chiefs fan since the old AFL days. People don't realize that this is the FIRST QB the Chiefs have drafted who turned out to be a success. Every successful QB they had in their entire history was acquired by trade.

[@michaeldiaz7101]

The fact that we beat the Colts that playoff run is what made the 2018 season so much more heartwarming. One of my earliest Chiefs memories was going to my grandfathers house (he was a colts fan) with my Priest Holmes jersey and watching neither team punt but somehow the Chiefs still lost in the playoffs. What a time. Still can’t beat the colts regularly but we got them that year lol

[@NickoFilipo]

Oooh I’ve been waiting for a secret base like this for a while!!!

[@chaseedwards3325]

Possibly the greatest talent we’ll ever see at QB

[@raycamacho6517]

Great video. Next one should be on Flores and Tua.

[@chardaskie]

I'm a vikes fan but I remember my buddy was watching Mahomes since he was a freshman. We played a madden league the first year Mahomes was in it and none of us knew who he was. We did soon enough

[@erichaynes7502]

Chiefs fan since 1975, it's been a long tough slog.

[@johnbox271]

Bruce Arians: Mahomes and Andrew Luck had the best pre-draft QB workouts I've seen. I thought for sure when we were in Arizona that we were getting Patrick Mahomes. Sean Payton reminisced. "We watched all the tape, we took him into a room for about half a day, and he was outstanding. Then we go out on the field... I remember when we finished, I told [my staff], ‘We’re going right to the plane. We're not stopping anywhere, no one knows we're here. That's our quarterback.' "...he's the best I've ever evaluated coming out of college", The Chiefs traded their 27th pick to the Buffalo Bills to jump up 17 spots, including over the Cardinals who sat at 13 and Saints at 11. It is interesting that some coaches could see Patrick Mahome potential, while so many others seemed oblivious.

I've been a Chiefs fan my entire life and I've been waiting for my team to draft a first round quarterback and they finally did and we got a quarterback and a magician🎩 (CHIEFS KINGDOM)

[@tonytooshort]

"Convinced he was no Mitch Trubisky" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂

[@connorchurch3518]

Mahomes at the peak of his powers is the most unstoppable force the NFL has ever seen

[@TheJudoJoker]

*Jon Bois liked that*

[@seangrever3506]

That tribitsky line 😂😂😂

[@hershelfowler6257]

Got to watch the Texas tech Oklahoma game. Heard of Mayfield, Perine, Mixon, Westbrook, never heard of Mahomes. Was blown away by Mahomes, was thinking if the Chiefs can draft this dude. Had a argument with a family member after the Alex Smith trade, he said the Chiefs made a mistake. I said did you not watch the Broncos game, Albert Wilson almost had 200 yards receiving that day, he never had output like that with Alex Smith. Mahomes make everybody better, I saw him battle back and forth with Oklahoma, once you see what he can do, you'll forget about Alex Smith, Mahomes is like a souped up Elway or Favre, he can make every throw on the field.

[@elliots.7056]

I was at this game - first time ever in person. What a night!

[@MrThemexacutioner]

I am a life long Chiefs fan from So Cal. I was sitting on the goal line about 7 rows back when Robinson crossed backwards for the 50th TD.

[@razaleesent.1579]

25:years! 😂 I sufferd through Cassel, Croyle, Thigpen, Palko, Huard, Quinn, and to a certain extent Green and Smith (which I'd say were our only 2 decent QBs we've had in the last 20 years!) So when I play Madden and hear ppl say "you bandwagon chiefs fan" I name all our QB's we've had (like I just did) and then say "after the QB's I've had to play with growing up (I only play with the chiefs since 04, shout out Dante Hall and my fav chief of all time Priest Holmes!) I deserve to play with Mahomes!! And they usually say "oh wow I'm sorry you had to go thru that! 😂 😂

[@masterp2269]

It's wild that the only thing left to accomplish for Mahomes is stacking rings. Lotta guys never got one, let alone multiple. I've never seen ANYONE play the game like Patrick. There's a handful of guys in history that had one or two of his talents...but nobody has ever had it all. And then you think about the arm angles...improvisation...left handed...SUCCESSFUL no-look passes...curveballs cutting under a lineman's armpit...throws across his body and the field...and even his impeccably timed runs....I hope everyone can get past their own teams Fandom to appreciate what we're seeing. And how about all the other talented QBs ...Allen, Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Hurts, Lawrence, Lamar....that we will get to watch battle each other for years to come. Great time to be a football fan.

[@JC_Fuh_KC]

Only real Chiefs fans remember the grinding days of Trent Green, Tong G, Tamba Hali ect. those teams always were a piece or 2 away and having to play a stacked AFC with Brady, Mannning ect. It felt so good to finally be able to see us actually contend and win a freaking playoff game finally lol. What Mahommes brings is so appreciated because Chiefs fans deserve it, we had been disrespected for years and now we have the juice and are the team to beat.

[@markb3786]

Or drafting Todd Blackledge over Dan Marino................

[@crankyblood1352]

This whole season was surreal for Mahomes

[@goldenstatewarriors9418]

Couldnt finish the job though... Patriots happened.

[@amadorluis2008]

That era was so fun and exhausting being a Chiefs fan ! But man was It a hell of a ride

[@toms2118]

nice video. mahomes rules.

[@Jdeneik]

Well done!
