I doubt Pat understands how cool this actually is, but his dad will know.

Over the summer, @hwinkler4real professed to us his love for @PatrickMahomes — today, we played the clip for the #ChiefsKingdom QB and the result was ��������:#NFL #BarryHBO pic.twitter.com/3AaYBy3AN6

this is great

“He’s so locked in on, ‘How am I going to get to the end zone? Hmm. There are those big guys over there, I think I’ll go over here.’ And then — boom — like a cobra.”

While Winkler doesn’t plan his week around NFL games, he’s seen Mahomes enough to know the Chiefs quarterback is something special. “On Sundays, my youngest son Max, sometimes my oldest son Jed and some of their friends come and they watch (football) or I watch by myself,” Winkler said.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t always understand it. And I am drawn to the technique, how great a person plays. “And now I watch all of these people and it is not that I disparage other players, but when you watch Mr. Mahomes play, there is no nonsense. There is a man who is so concentrated. The finesse, the improvisational nature of his ability — he has captured my imagination.”

Mahomes is known for adapting to what defenses give him, which means he sometimes will make an adjustment to a called play. Sometimes that means he’ll take off running. Other times, he’ll scramble and throw on the run. It’s the sports equivalent of an actor improvising.

“In the structure comes the freedom,” said Winkler, who starred as The Fonz on “Happy Days,” and later was in “Arrested Development,” “The Waterboy” and many more projects in his five decades as an actor.

“So all of the men who play football know exactly what it is, all those complicated plays and where they go and what they do and the trickery and everything else. And then inside that structure comes someone like Patrick, who not only is able to carry it out, but he is, at the moment, in the absolute magical second when he must slow time down in his brain, he is able then to create yet another piece to an already established play. That is just magnificent to watch.

“There are actors who can make a moment in between two moments that you never would have considered existed. You can’t even slide a piece of loose-leaf paper in between the traditional doing and then the improv. You know what I mean? I’ve seen it on stage. You know, there’s a similarity.”
