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.[1]
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.[2][3]
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.[4] His fans are some of the most dedicated of any team in the NFL.[5] [6]
