IT ****ING HAPPENED

Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy!

As long as Pat has time to throw I’m not really worried.

From the Athletic dad bod article.

“Mahomes was not exceptionally fast, but he was adept at movements that felt eclectic: crawling, twisting, chopping, swinging. He was a natural at understanding momentum and space.

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.“

one of the most athletic guys I knew was kind of fat and never worked out. He had a bigger dad bod than Mahomes though. But he could step onto a basketball court and hang with NBA players (they were future NBA players at KU)

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.

Watching that develop from the stands, I'd stopped watching him.

I was looking downfield to see who was breaking open. It never even crossed my mind that Milano might be a threat. I saw his angle, saw Pat's momentum -- he didn't have a chance.

He ALWAYS makes that guy miss. Every damn time. And if he doesn't think he can, he throws the ball away. He just never ever ever takes that sack.

The reaction at the stadium was just bewilderment. Nobody was watching that unfold thinking "uh oh, Pat's in trouble..."

It was just another day at the ol' ballyard and he was gonna make Milano look silly and fire a strike for a 1st down. And then he didn't.

This game was the first time I thought Milano lived up to the Buffalo fan hype I’d heard about for years.

Yeah that was pretty weird. It's like he took his eye off Milano for a second and didn't anticipate the tackle.

Felt like some BS from that 2nd half against Cincy.... *shudder*
