I know he’s a wizard and helps the offensive line out more than they help him, but he does also like to hang onto the ball until the very last second looking to make a play. I’m thinking that may be inflating the numbers a bit.

Yeah, I've always felt like the PFF grades of our OTs are pretty low in part because of how Mahomes extends plays.
It's a good thing, don't get me wrong. But for instance I believe Taylor is outside of the top 50 starting OTs right now and that's just wrong. Even purely on his pass-blocking grades (which don't consider the penalties) he's outside of the top 35ish.
Naw - he's been a genuinely good pass protector all season. It's just the penalties (and occasionally run blocking) that's dinged him. But PFF says he's at best been average as a pass protector.
I just don't buy that. And this goes back several years; pretty much the entirety of Mahomes career. Our OTs are always about a tier below where my eye says they oughta be (and where several other stats such as pass rush win rate says they should be).
