That's the guy - didn't realize it was Geno Stone (who's ballhawking tendencies will get him in trouble at times).
And when I watched the play, he'd actually sold out BEFORE Mahomes threw the ball, that was what yielded the throw to begin with. He had that angle to break on a ball intended for Rice but seemed to see Perine and started leaking down.
To me, he was the guy that truly gacked that play. And I just never saw anyone mention it. And as I'm watching it, I'm just sitting there thinking "no way, that guy had a play on the ball had he not gotten too eager - he hung the other guy out to dry..."
Mahomes saw it and suddenly the odds of that play being broken up reduced to damn near zero.
As for the rookie, I just think he's breaking down as he gets there in that screen capture. He came upfield awfully hot. I just don't know how you break down AND get around a body like that.
