Two decades later, Mahomes remains a mesmerizing athlete. His traditional performance metrics — like his 4.8 40-yard dash or his squat max — are unremarkable. But when you consider everything together — what Elliott calls a “symphony of movement” — there are few quarterbacks like him.

He runs faster on curves than he does in a straight line and is a master at decelerating under control. He excels at what Stroupe calls “forecasting momentum,” or using his vision and depth perception to understand how fast he is moving compared to a defender. His reaction times are off the charts.

“I think the problem is you look at him and his body type is not what you would think of,” Stroupe said.“

That's why getting sacked by Milano was frankly a surprise. We've seen Pat get out of that more times than not. It was just a really freakish play by Milano.
