Patrick Mahomes was the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick last year, and like most first-round draft picks he had local businesses offering him endorsement deals. But he doesn’t want to be a star in commercials before he’s a star on the field. Mahomes’ agent, Leigh Steinberg, told ESPN that the goal for Mahomes’ first year in Kansas City was just to establish himself as a part of the team, and not to get every endorsement dollar. As a result, Mahomes turned down offers that would have given him a higher profile, not wanting to create a perception that he saw himself as a star before he had proven himself. “We talked about how the first year the goal was to integrate into the team, and the only way to do that is to pay deference to the incumbent veterans and try not to go into the situation with a high profile,” Steinberg said. “We intentionally didn’t do endorsements that would run in the Kansas City area even though they were offered. We didn’t want him to be on billboards and everything when he wasn’t even playing.” As Alex Smith‘s backup last year, Mahomes says, earning respect in the locker room was a higher priority than earning money from sponsors. “That just comes with the relationship you build with the guys off the field and on the field,” Mahomes said. “Whenever you have respect for each other and you know that you’re trying to make the team the best you can, and you know he’s trying to make the team win, you can talk to each other and say things to each other and you respect that. That comes with all of this offseason work, the weight room, the running. If you’re giving it your all every single day, people will respect you and respect whenever you say anything on the field.” If Mahomes becomes the kind of player the Chiefs think he will, those endorsements will come.

I always said that the reason I wanted Mahomes so badly before the 2017 Draft was because he was one of the rare prospects who had the potential to be truly elite. Sure, he could bust hard, but you could at least imagine a scenario where he did in fact become Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. Few have that ability.
With each passing day, I become more and more confident that he is going to reach that ceiling one day. |

Good interview from yesterday with Mitch Schwartz, Eric Stonestreet by Rich Eisen about Mahomes. Schwartz seems to have a lot of confidence in Pat, Stonestreet doesn't know much.

After Holmgren left, the bone in his head grew, and should Mahome ne as boneheaded, this team will not have the cap space to overcome his bonehead. Favre was a ****ing idiot. I am excited, and have hopes, with Mahomes, and expect that he will be a great deal smarter. But boneheads don't win Super Bowls unless they are surrounded by superior talent.

Bonehead is a bit strong.. I'd reserve that title for the kind of asshole that sends dick pics to unsuspecting women.
Oh, wait. |

I really have zero concerns about Mahomes failing at all. Most QB's that are failures are low confidence mental cases. I've never seen Mahomes look rattled yet or start to back down. He has a short memory and only focuses on the next snap. Those are traits that will keep his floor pretty high. Now add the talent on top of his mature demeanor and I think that spells something pretty incredible.
I flat out can't imagine him being a bust whatsoever. |
