Pat Mahomes is one of my favorite players in all of football. Love the way he plays the position. He is the pure definition of what a modern elite QB should look like. He's got the measurables, the cannon, speed, accuracy, escapability, fearlessness, and a flare for the dramatic. Really hope Pittsburgh drafts him whenever he decides to come out. Will learn under Big Ben for 2-3 years then have the reigns with what should still be a loaded WR corps.
I think I already found the QB I want for the Niners. He has all the tools to success in Chip Kelly´s system. He´s accurate, he has an ok arm, he has the Russell Wilson´s ability to scramble and the way of crossing the ball so often is something that I haven´t seen before. I want this kid.
I think if he plays really well again this year he's a 1st round pick. His arm strength is second to none and he can create something out of nothing at any time. The only thing that worries me is throwing across his body, but still he's a 1st round prospect to me.
He throws it well across his body though ,and only does it as a last resort. I hope he stays for his senior year too though, by then he should also be very well seasoned and ready to play in the NFL
Absolutely better than Graham Harrell. Graham was accurate but he had the best O-line and best receiver in the country around him to produce. I could out run Graham Harrell while I'm running backwards lol...Pat makes something out of nothing and gives Tech a chance to win games they shouldn't even have a chance in and is one of the most athletic players on the team. in my opinion, he's the closest thing to Johnny Football since Johnny Football
Mahomes has far better deep ball accuracy than Paxton Lynch. In August we had Goff going to the Jets at 17, but had a feeling he would become the top quarterback. Mahomes is gonna be our top quarterback in our first 2017 mock draft and with RGIII going to the Browns Mahomes may end up in cleveland in my first 2017 mock we'll see what happens.
His deep ball accuracy is terrible and his short ball accuracy is outstanding with Paxton Lynch. I feel like Mahomes is more accurate and a better overall qb, but he needs to show that against competition this year.
Mahomes played against very good defenses, especially against LSU. Even though they lost, look at how he made an NFL quality defense on LSU look foolish all game long. He also played well against Arkansas, and they won in Fayetteville. In my opinion Mahomes just need to improve his completion percentage, mainly in short and intermediate passes. but his long ball is deadly and he's not afraid to use it. Also, 230lbs and 6'3" and he can move and dart out of the pocket fearlessly.
also, you can learn shirt and intermediate accuracy much easier than you can learn to throw the deep ball. with the deep ball, you either have it, or you don't. and he has IT
if 49ers keep kaepernick i'll give the 49ers mahomes. Could also see him in Chicago if Cutler erodes in 2016 without Adam Gase we'll see what happens. Either way he's the top quarterback in 2017. Last year at this point in 2015 we were talking about the Big 10 quarterbacks now people are talking about the ACC guys for 2017. Mahomes is going under the radar once again.
I feel like he'll be regarded by the draft media like Paxton Lynch was this year, good but a step below Watson/Kaaya. That being said, looking at this video he could definitely be the #1 QB prospect if he plays like this again in 2016.
Okay well Mahomes is top Dawg this year in the Big 12, followed closely by Mayfield. National Pundits and sports writers love throwing Clint Chelf out of OSU in the mix but that's nonsense. Arm strength is off the charts, keeps his eyes down field, has great escspability (if that's even a word lol) and has that overall IT factor. Add to the fact the guy is 6"3, 230lbs and was voted the toughest QB in the conference to take down by other players. I say he goes top 10 If Pat shows mechanic growth and can make the intermediate and easy throws he's gonna be a good one
I agree, but I mean his playing style is more like them specifically Colin Kaepernick, which isn't necessarily a diss since I think people are more critical than they should on be on him personally. I definitely give the arm strength to Patrick Mahomes Kaepernick has an arm, but this dude shoot it out of the park lol.
Bears need to draft Allen at #3 then this kid in the 2nd round. Hes worth the risk. Let him ride the bench and learn a pro style offense his rookie year then give him the keys to the offense in his second year.
The issue with Guys like Mahomes and Mayfield, isn't there athletic ability, or their numbers, it's their ability to read full defenses and make adjustments at the line of scrimmage, pre snap reads, and player progression down the field, now I'm not saying neither of those players do this, because they do But at the NFL level is a whole different monster, that's why we've seen Wentz Excell and Goff struggle. I think Watson is in the exact category as the two I mentioned above. I truly think tho that Mahomes is the best raw prospect in this draft just with the best upside, although I feel all 3 need another year of college and 2 plus years on the NFL sideline before they could ever be an NFL starter.
I should also add that a highlight tape is prolly the worst thing to watch when grading a quarterback, it doesn't show how anything other than big plays and things he excels at
Chad Hill Agreed. Mahomes is my favorite QB in the draft but he'll need 2 years of not playing to Learn how to do these QB fundamentals and at least 2 more to play as a starter and really figure the NFL out for himself (he should be allowed to make mistakes). I thinks he's the only QB in this class that has a limitless ceiling
Interesting prospect. But that throwing across your body stuff won't fly in the NFL. And thanks to the air raid offense, you already know that recognizing coverages isn't even in his lexicon. If he's smart and savvy enough to pick up on that, he'll be what Johnny Manziel would've been. If he wasn't a slave to addiction and about 3 inches taller.
my top 3 qbs are watson to clevleand mayfield to chicago and mahomes to the 49ers at 6. How do you feel about that. Who is better mayfield or mahomes i've seen both of their tape, but still have trouble deciding.
Honestly they are both pretty similar qbs when it comes down to improvisation and eluding pass rushers but mahomes has the edge over him in regards to his cannon arm. Mayfield does tend to be a little more accurate with intermediate/deep passes though. Mayfield also the advantage of better threat threat receivers last season.
Kaaya is overrated we don't even have him in the first round of our mock draft on our website Draft Utopia we have Watson and Mahomes in the first round.
If Mahomes was wearing an OU jersey last year, he may have already won a Heisman. Unfortunately, he won't get the recognition he deserves unless Tech has a break out year like they did in 2008. But as an NFL scout, I'd say he's clearly above Mayfield. Mayfield's play style won't bode nearly as well in the NFL, he's way too loose with the ball, more prone to turnovers and getting sacked, and when flushed he's more prone to mistakes than Mahomes. Also, Mahomes' arm strength is second to none, even off the back foot or across his body, that ball flies effortlessly and accurately. Watson is already seasoned and ready to be in the NFL, but I think Mahomes has a higher ceiling and could have a better career in the NFL
half of these highlights are highlights from receivers. most of these passes are no more than 3 yards and the receivers break like 4 tackles. sure there are a few good throws here and there, but most of these are highlights of his pass catchers. stop the Favre comparisons people lol.
Half of these "highlights" are the receiver breaking the tackles and making people miss. Those should be highlights for the receivers... Not highlights of mahomes...
Really not impressed with what I saw. Horrible vision, has a very weak arm. I just do not see pro talent here, and anyone who disagrees with me has autism
Not impressed with this guy at all. Typical spread air raid QB. 90% of his throws were underthrown with the reciever stopping, turning around, or coming back to him. In this 12 minutes i saw maybe a handful of throws hitting in stride. Some MAJOR underthrown balls. Any accuracy I saw were on screens and slants with his recievers getting major YAC. No thanks....next.
Not Impressed?? Are you high? but yet your still watiching his tape to come and talk down not bad for a air raid qb and he's a SOPHOMORE, This man led the nation in total offense for a reason. Solid escape ability, strong and accurate arm, great awareness, and a high football iq. You know nothing about pat mahomes.
+swervin off xans lol give me a break. I watch because I watch highlights of all the noteworthy QB prospects. Mahoney is NOT an NFL QB. Typical air raid Big 12 QB throwing to ducks on a pond against terrible defenses. Name the last one that did ANYTHING in the NFL. His bloated stats are a product of the TT system. He won't do squat in the NFL. Kliff Kingsbury, Graham Harrell 2.0.
+swervin off xans Wow! I bet you feel smarter after spouting out all those insults through your computer. More power to you pal. Just so you know, you sound like a fuckimg idiot. At any rate, keep up with your amateur analysis it suits you. Thanks for playing....next
+swervin off xans also.....last I checked Goff & wentz......the entire basis for your rambling, haven't played a single down in the NFL yet. So we don't really know what they are worth do we? Lol. Yea. Good one dude. I'm not one to insult on the internet but you sir, are in fact, " a fucking moron"
Greatest of all time.
Did he say fuckin legend
Yes

Damn you were so right
Thank god he didn't go to the steelers as a ravens fan lol
😂😂😂

Sprint Right Option are you kidding? He has a huge arm
He has one of the biggest arms of all-time. 80 yard range. 65 yards from his knees.
How ironic is it that he’s going to face the niners in the Super bowl not bad for a dude with an “okay” arm
Sprint Right Option damn he just beat y’all in the Super Bowl lol
Chris Akokoh have you seen the comment that said he was going to be one of the biggest bust in nfl history 😂😂💀 how wrong they were
The arm strength is second too none
great video man!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
very underated
Midwest jay not anymore ;)
After that tcu game where he was hurt i knew hes gonna make it big
What a baller...once he's done in college, he will undoubtedly have been the best QB Texas Tech has ever had.
Amen to that. Wreck em!
I think if he plays really well again this year he's a 1st round pick. His arm strength is second to none and he can create something out of nothing at any time. The only thing that worries me is throwing across his body, but still he's a 1st round prospect to me.

I think this mahomes kid will be good. Lmao
Doubt it

I agree, overall Mahomes is simply a better all around QB than lynch. But for Pat's sake, let's hope to God that he doesn't end up in Cleveland....
His deep ball accuracy is terrible and his short ball accuracy is outstanding with Paxton Lynch. I feel like Mahomes is more accurate and a better overall qb, but he needs to show that against competition this year.

His dad was a MLB player hence the arm strength💪🏼
rocket arm. jumps out just like Favre. he still needs to better ball security and footwork but he has that IT factor. please draft him Bears
This guys gonna be a Saint
Chiefs need to trade back and grab this guy in the 2nd
Justin Hatcher won't be there in the 2nd.
Knew he wouldn’t be there 👍🏼
😂😂😂

I think he will and I got Kaaya outside my first round in my first round he had some, shaky tape against Florida State.

He sort of reminds me of Colin Kaepernick or a taller Johnny Manziel like someone mentioned minus the issues if he stays out of trouble.
Djpricez5 he has legs like them but he his way more of a pure thrower than both of them
I agree, but I mean his playing style is more like them specifically Colin Kaepernick, which isn't necessarily a diss since I think people are more critical than they should on be on him personally. I definitely give the arm strength to Patrick Mahomes Kaepernick has an arm, but this dude shoot it out of the park lol.

dblshotz75 bears could’ve got him or Watson but instead got Trubisky 😭😂
@jaycutler1407 man they would've been a dynasty 😢😂
we are now full on into the mobile QB era. all the top QB's coming out of college are dual threats.
The taller russell wilson

LMFAO
He reminds me of a poor man's Kyle Allen
clayton kothmann lol, mahomes>>>>>>>>>>>>Allen
clayton kothmann lmao
Interesting prospect. But that throwing across your body stuff won't fly in the NFL. And thanks to the air raid offense, you already know that recognizing coverages isn't even in his lexicon. If he's smart and savvy enough to pick up on that, he'll be what Johnny Manziel would've been.
If he wasn't a slave to addiction and about 3 inches taller.
he's reminds me of Russell Wilson
3 years later and that “across your body stuff” is actually working 😂
Now here's a guy with a REAL arms for you.
Future Bear
my top 3 qbs are watson to clevleand mayfield to chicago and mahomes to the 49ers at 6. How do you feel about that. Who is better mayfield or mahomes i've seen both of their tape, but still have trouble deciding.
Honestly they are both pretty similar qbs when it comes down to improvisation and eluding pass rushers but mahomes has the edge over him in regards to his cannon arm. Mayfield does tend to be a little more accurate with intermediate/deep passes though. Mayfield also the advantage of better threat threat receivers last season.
Kaaya is overrated we don't even have him in the first round of our mock draft on our website Draft Utopia we have Watson and Mahomes in the first round.
Scouts love him because they think with his new coach he will finally have a breakout season.
i moved mahomes ahead of mayfield and i think he's capable of passing watson and will have a better NFL career than Watson.
If Mahomes was wearing an OU jersey last year, he may have already won a Heisman. Unfortunately, he won't get the recognition he deserves unless Tech has a break out year like they did in 2008. But as an NFL scout, I'd say he's clearly above Mayfield.

Watson is already seasoned and ready to be in the NFL, but I think Mahomes has a higher ceiling and could have a better career in the NFL
Russell Wilson 2.0
guns up!
Mahones to the Cardinals
I see a lot of Aaron Rodgers in this dude. I'm hoping my Chicago Bears get them in the second round.
Arizona Cardinals need to draft this kid. Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton are useless.
half of these highlights are highlights from receivers. most of these passes are no more than 3 yards and the receivers break like 4 tackles. sure there are a few good throws here and there, but most of these are highlights of his pass catchers. stop the Favre comparisons people lol.
Corey Durham yeah he’s going to be better than Favre 😂
Love it when armchair GMs are dead wrong
Does anyone know what round he's projected to land in? I want the 49ers to get his kid but not in the 1st
AJ Richer 2nd
AJ Richer he was given a 1-2 round grade. I think he goes late in round 1, most likely Texans.
SamNB3 Why the Texans?
Half of these "highlights" are the receiver breaking the tackles and making people miss. Those should be highlights for the receivers... Not highlights of mahomes...
Future bills qb
Niners 2nd round
He is going first round lol
LMFAO
Needs to work on his footwork. He's got a ton of ability though
Well.. well.. well.. 🤔
No highlights vs OU? hmmm...
i dont think he will get pick in the 1st round. He will get pick in the 2nd to the Niners. Lets Go Ninerz
speedygonzoles oof
LMFAO
welcome to the AZ CARDINALS!!!!
BEARS2017
lol 😂
This guy's going to get picked off in the nfl a lot. Way more impressed by number 11
Really not impressed with what I saw. Horrible vision, has a very weak arm. I just do not see pro talent here, and anyone who disagrees with me has autism
clayton kothmann lol, has strongest arm of the QBs in the draft.
clayton kothmann this held up well
Hunter Erickson dude is an NFL mvp and is in a Super bowl, but Clayton wasn’t impressed 😂😂😂
SamNB3 hes now a NFL and Super Bowl MVP you were right
Not impressed with this guy at all. Typical spread air raid QB. 90% of his throws were underthrown with the reciever stopping, turning around, or coming back to him.
