Yeah, I'd have to watch again, but I've not seen him go 3 progressions deep yet in game action.
I saw a couple of plays where he clearly hit his 2 read. Maybe times when he's gone 2 deep and then checked down; I guess that counts as a 3rd read.
But when I think of getting 3 progressions deep, I'm thinking downfield or even cycling back to a first read before a dump off. And no, I haven't seen Mahomes do that. Again, that gets to the fact that he's just not terribly comfortable in the pocket.
He DOES do well in the scramble drill when he breaks out of the pocket, keeps his eyes scanning and finds someone, but that's not a read. That's a scramble drill; pretty much the opposite of a read.
He'll get there, but he ain't there yet.
