So...why did he play his true freshman season at 20 years old? He's going to turn 22 this November so it's not like he's going to come out super young. He'll actually enter the draft a full year older than Mahomes was when he entered.
Can some of the hype be a little unfounded? I mean if you're talking about a 20 yr old freshman, that's a fair sight different than one that's 18 or 19, no?
I dunno - just something I noticed.

Here's a hot take for you.
I'm out on Caleb Williams. I saw some interview with him, halftime or something, and someone asked him something about Mahomes, and he said (I think this is verbatum) "there really isn't anything he can do that I can't, so yeah."
A spoonful of humility does a career good, bud.
Then I watched the second half and he sure he threw some good balls off platform, he threw some good balls. He also threw some balls away pretty early. He also eliminated half the field really early in a lot of snaps.
We'll see, and I'm the only guy on the ****ing planet out on the dude - and I'm certainly open to being wrong. Stay with me here, in my mind what makes Mahomes the best is the grind. He is supremely talented, sure, but there have been talented dudes that could do some amazing shit. But transferring those skills to production is where Mahomes shines.
My opinion is that teams now need to watch out for dudes trying to do Mahomes stuff, rather that being able to do Mahomes stuff and playing football.
