When Mahomes met with the Arizona Cardinals before the draft, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians put his memory to a test. On a board, he drew up six plays and two or three pass‑protection schemes; then he showed Mahomes video of some blitz packages and offered audible calls that would allow him to switch the protection, depending on the look. Just two hours later, Mahomes was out on the field, and Arians blurted out a protection‑and‑blitz package. “Rightie! Rightie!” Mahomes said, fixing the protection. “Holy cow,” Arians thought. Then he did it again. Mahomes had already mastered something that might take another quarterback a year.

Heard this story before, but this was a good version. It's not some made up movie script, we are living this, and it's wonderful.

So much good info in that article.

Sean Payton went to Lubbock. The Bears thought Mitch T was smarter, lol. The Cards and Aaints passing because of a cheaper 5th year option.

Thanks OP!!

You tell Alex early, his agent leaks to nuke the deal.

It’s show business, not show friends.

I wonder what that call from Reid to Alex Smith was like.

Smart move. Green room has limited spots for the player’s family/agent. Mahomes was able to have a big party with all of his friends & family. That’s a much better scenario.

LMAO can you imagine if that had happened.

We'd have been flying banners.

For some reason I always thought that clip of him taking the call was in the green room. I never connected that he was somewhere else.

We’d likely never find out, since it would make the FO look like idiots.

Veach, meanwhile, worried that the Saints and the Cardinals, picking at No. 13, had the draft picks to trade up higher than No. 10, if they were so motivated. But there was one piece of NFL fine print working in the Chiefs’ favor. NFL contracts for rookies contain a team option for a fifth season, and it just so happened that the slotted money for the fifth‑year option fell off substantially from the tenth pick to the eleventh. Thus, it made financial sense for the Saints and Cardinals to sit tight and not trade up. The Chiefs, Veach thought, could catch the entire league by surprise.
Definitely brilliant if true, but I wonder if that actually mattered..

What’s the drop off exactly? ‘Cause I find it hard to believe a team would be pinching pennies on a potential QBotf half a decade down the line. Especially given the fact that even considering a QB for the fifth-year option is typically a very good sign.

The Cards are run poorly by a terrible failson owner.

The Saints are constantly looking to skirt the cap.

It checks out.

After the 2017 Draft, Veach could have quit his job, started robbing banks with a wolf mask, and the dude would still get into the Chiefs Hall of Fame as the guy who was the lead scout for Patrick Mahomes.

This is what Mahomes is chasing.
