Wow.
So....
1. Cheetah ran out to a standing ovation, louder than the one Mahomes got. He reacted in a manner not unlike Andy Dufresne emerging from the sewage pipe at Shawshank prison.
2. Cheetah's missed time does not appear to have affected his timing with Mahomes at all. The two were very much in sync today. Hill caught two or three contested balls with absolutely insane displays of vertical jump - whatever he has done this offseason to get better, his steps are absolutely ****ing spring-loaded now.
And on one of his two deep touchdowns, Hill was open by 15 yards. He absolutely SMOKED the poor DB covering him.
3. Mahomes does not look like he has stopped playing football since the AFC Championship game. I think I saw maybe two plays today where he didn't know where to go with the ball or made a bad throw. He was firing lasers. He made a throw on a corner route to....Pringle...I think...that looked like it bent physics.
Mahomes struggled on the day I was in camp last year. He looked like frickin' Dan Marino out there today. I think he took off running only once. He ended the two-minute drill with a TD to Mecole over the middle.
4. Eric Fisher completely shut down Frank Clark from what I saw.
5. Pringle is going to make this team. He looked like a damn All-Pro when he went up to catch a deep ball from Mahomes down the left sideline. He elevated and snatched it out of the air like Randy Moss.
