PATRICK MAHOMES IIYou dream of your first NFL start when you’re a little kid, playing football in the backyard, but until you get there, you never know what to expect.
PATRICK MAHOMES IIComing from college, where they tell you exactly what you have to do, and they tell you have to be at this at this time, you kind of get punishment for that. Now you’re in the NFL, and you have to do it on your own.
PATRICK MAHOMES IIIt’s not like I mean to throw no-look passes. I think it kind of happens out of instinct. As I do it, I’m like, ‘Dang, I didn’t even mean to do that.

PATRICK MAHOMES IIThe best thing about it is you’re showing kids that no matter where you grow up, what race you are, that you can achieve your dream.
PATRICK MAHOMES IIYou see Tom Brady, you see Alex Smith, and you see all those guys in the pocket and how quick they are with their footwork and how they get the ball out fast. I have to get like that.
PATRICK MAHOMES IIYou have to learn and develop from every experience you see on the field. I might see an unscouted blitz. I might see different coverages than I’m expecting. So I need to process and make those adjustments as I go.
