One of his pros in the video is, “Able to make a defender miss in a phone booth,” and that is absolutely true. Never heard that phrase before, but it is a perfect description of how hard he is to get ahold of.
Another takeaway from this clip that I hadn’t noticed before is the direction he is looking throughout his cuts behind the backfield - Upfield at all times. His peripheral vision and processing speed appear to be near-Mahomes level.
When he and Mahomes get on the same page and begin to see the same things, look the hell out.
Is it time for football yet?

His elite stop-start-burst is going to make him so, so dangerous for KC. Those are the skills that make him so effective in short areas (phone booths).
Just think about his use in KC's favorite formation - trip WR to left, Kelce to right. You can stack CEH to either side of Mahomes in that formation and turn him loose on all sorts of dangerous routes (out, drag, arrow, smash to trips side).
