'''Patrick Mahomes''', Patrick Levon Mahomes II, is an [[National Football League]] (NFL) quarterback for the [[Kansas City Chiefs]]. Playing under head coach Andy Reid for all of his pro career has allowed Patrick to develop an ability to understand and improvise in the middle of game-deciding plays.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHKV0VPifAU</ref>
His throwing style -- consisting often of no-look passes thrown from a sideways arm angle -- is the result of (in an era of sports specialization) playing three sports while in high school: his no-look passing from being a point guard in basketball, and his sideways angle from being a shortstop in baseball.<ref>"Other sports made Mahomes better", The Dallas Morning News, Sunday, February 2, 2020, page 3C.</ref><ref>Mahomes -- the son of a journeyman major league pitcher -- was drafted by the [[Detroit Tigers]] in the 37th round after finishing high school; he declined to sign in lieu of playing quarterback at [[Texas Tech University]].</ref> Patrick has been a very vocal believer in [[Jesus Christ]], referencing Jesus in many interviews and tweets(though he is cohabiting with his girlfriend, whom he has dated since high school). He has a level head and is well known for his ability to judge the entire field.<ref>https://www.themix.net/2019/09/patrick-mahomes-nfl-christian/</ref> His fans are some of the most dedicated of any team in the NFL.<ref>https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/12/4/20970610/patrick-mahomes-kansas-city-chiefs-quarterback-fan-experience</ref> <ref>https://www.espn.com/nfl/preview08/columns/story?id=3530077</ref>
