Here's the thing, though - the unique set of circumstances that went into that kid are unlikely to be duplicated for a looooooong time.
How many guys with baseball backgrounds with fathers who played professional sports AND made those lockkerooms an active part of their upbringing who also happen to have a mother****ing cannon attached to their shoulder are coming down the pipe anytime soon?
I mean sure - scouts can take some of the lessons learned from Mahomes and try to apply them, but they're not going to find that combination of traits + the humility born of being under the radar his entire high school/college career smashed into one guy.
We got him. This dude is a once in a lifetime combination of flukey upbringing and freakish talent and he's a goddamn Kansas City Chief.
I'm gonna go jerk off so hard now...
