There is one thing about Mahome's upbringing that I think is understated...as a child, during his formative years, he was exposed to HOF baseball players on a regular basis...going about their daily routine. It was normal to him...
He even brought up that he remembers being shocked that Jeeter and A-Rod were there 4 hours before a game...that he learned that even once you reach the pinnacle of your profession, that the work didn't end there. That it took constant dedication to maintain that level of excellence.
That's quite the rare life experience...
Talk is cheap but PM actually has the natural, rarified ability to be as good as he wants...and Reid has mentioned several times that he has the "desire" to be great.
He was pretty much groomed to do this...
