- This is Patrick Mahomes
and I'm going undercover on the internet.
[light music]
This is Actually Me.
[light music]
First up, let's look at Twitter.
[light music]
If you could throw to one Hall of Fame receiver
who would it be and why?
It would probably be Randy Moss,
just 'cause to have that size, that speed, that athleticism,
probably just throw it as far as I could,
kinda like I do with Tyreek a little bit
and he can go get it.

Next, if Patrick Mahomes wins one
more Super Bowl in his career,
does that put him about Aaron Rodgers for all time?
So I don't know if a lot of people remember
the beginning of Aaron Rodgers' career,
but I mean, he went to the Super Bowl and made a lot of
the same and more throws that I made,
I mean he's one of the best all time,
he's someone that I take a lot of stuff from.
So, to me, I'm just trying to get somewhere close
by the end of my career to where he is.
So, to be around that by the end of my career,
that would be the goal.
Has BrittanyLynne8 wore you out with all those workouts?
Uh, 100%, she's killed me with the workouts,
especially at the beginning.
Here, let me show you how I've been workin' out.
The amount of reps, like is unreal.
I have to like stop doin' all the reps sometimes.
Resistance bands, kettle bells, dumbbells,
just gettin' after it,
she's used to workin' out at homes, definitely not me.
Could Patrick Mahomes have played basketball at KU?
The real answer is absolutely not,
but in my mind I think I could have.
Maybe walk on and be a benchwarmer,
I could do that if you want,
submit. [bird chirping]
Next up, we got Quora.
[light music]
Did Patrick Mahomes break the Madden curse?
Apparently there's a curse if you're on the cover of Madden,
that you get injured or something happens to you
that next season, I don't know if I broke it,
but I definitely battled it for a little bit of time there
and then came out on top,
so I don't know if it's actually true
but I did get hurt, came back from it
and got to win the Super Bowl so I mean
I at least got through it and beat it there in the end.
What is Patrick Mahomes' throwing release time?
I have zero idea,
as long as it's fast enough to not get intercepted,
I'll take that.
Why can't Patrick Mahomes play pickup basketball anymore?
So, I was playin' pickup basketball,
got posted online, we got a call from my GM
Brett Veach and it wasn't like,
you can't play, but it was like I would really not like
you to play, so when it comes from that guy,
that's almost like yeah, you can't play.
I knew when they posted the video I was gonna get
in trouble because they tagged Bleacher Report,
it was fun while it lasted, next.
In an NFL commercial, Patrick Mahomes puts ketchup
on a steak, is that really something people do?
I don't know if it's really something that people do,
but that is really something that I do.
Like, 100%, I had steak last night,
and I put ketchup on it.
It was like a ribeye, like expensive steak
and then it made it even better,
I threw a little bit of ketchup on the side
so if you haven't tried it,
I would try it because it is delicious.
Will Patrick Mahomes become the GOAT?
It's pretty early on in my career to be sayin'
anything like that obviously I've had a good start
to the career but to be the GOAT
you have to be consistent through your entire career
playin' at a high level
and there's some guys in the NFL
and in all other sports that have done it
so I have a very long ways to go.
All right, movin' on to Instagram.
It's Actually Me.
What throwing mechanics did you learn from
your father and applied to your game?
Playin' baseball I used to do side arm,
you see all the different type of stuff where I'm like
throwin' it from different arm angles.
Long toss with my dad built arm strength,
and it taught me that you can't always throw
from the perfect platform and you have to still be accurate
so that definitely applies to my football game.
What video games do you like the most?
And are you into streaming or watching streamers?
So my favorite video game is Call of Duty,
I've been big on Call of Duty since like
I was in high school, like freshman year of high school,
eighth grade even maybe.
I've always been a Call of Duty fan,
I play Madden obviously.
I play 2K, I play a lot of the sports games.
And to answer your second question,
I don't stream, just 'cause I feel like
I'm good but not that good.
And so, I don't stream, but I'll watch streamers
every once and a while but I can't sit there
for more than like five to 10 minutes watching them
like I don't see how people can sit for like hours
and watch people just play video games, next.
How's your knee doing?
Looking great man!
So my knee has been doing awesome,
obviously I've been working with it all off season,
like I did during the season
but I actually feel like all the work that I've put in
for injury prevention on my knee that I'm actually
probably stronger than it was before
as far as my quad and hip flexor and everything like that
that holds that kneecap in place
and I mean, I do so much extra work on that stuff
just to obviously with the injury that I've had
that I feel like i'mm stronger than ever with those muscles.
Yeah so the specific exercises that I do are like
a lot of like single leg squats,
single leg raisers, a lot of that stuff
is really building those muscles, builds that quad,
it really holds that kneecap in place.
So it's just Armani, a picture of when I'm in my suits.
All of my suits I get custom made by a guy
that is out of Dallas, Texas.
Actually he's from Tyler Texas my hometown
and he made me my first suit for me
for my draft day party so I kinda just stayed with him
and he does a great job, his names Preston.
He does a great job of keeping my suits clean
and keeping me one of the freshest on the field at all times
More Twitter, man gets a Patrick Mahomes Champ Stamp tattoo.
Yeah, so this was the weirdest probably moment
I've ever had with a fan interaction,
I remember goin' on Kimmel and no one tellin' me
he was literally just sitting in the first row
and they were like ey, we wanna show you something
and it was a dude with almost a life size portrait
of me on his back and I was literally
sitting there goin' what in the world did I just get into.
[bird chirping]
Actually, it looked better in person than it did
on TV I think but it was,
I don't think y'all realize how big it was,
like it was a big, it wasn't a little tattoo at all.
Who do you think is the best player at their respective
sports is it LeBron James in basketball,
Patrick Mahomes in football or Mike Trout in baseball?
Taking me out of this, first off,
both these other guys have multiple MVPs,
been at the top of the sport for a long time.
[bird chirping]
I would give it to LeBron right now,
just 'cause he's done it for longer than Mike has
even though Mike has done it for a long time
and is a beast on the baseball field.
He has been at the top of the game
since he's entered the league at 18,
now 17 years in he's still top of the game,
so I mean definitely have to give him the nod.
[bird chirping]

What would your reaction be if Patrick Mahomes retired
from the Kansas City Chiefs and signed a contract
with the Kansas City Royals?
Well definitely nothing that would happen any time soon,
I'm lovin' football, lovin' playin' for the Chiefs,
I mean I'm never gonna throw anything out so maybe one day.
[bird chirping]
Off the top of your head,
do you remember every player selected before
you in the NFL draft?
Let's see, Miles Garret was one.
Two was Mitchell Trubisky.
Three, Solomon Thomas.
Four, who picked fourth?
I wanna say Leonard Fournette?
Five
I can't remember who went fifth,
but I know for sure I got four of them.
Christian McCaffrey went in front of me,
John Ross, Corey Davis, Jamal Adams,
I'm missing one person, I can't,
y'all have to give it to me,
I can't remember the one person that went before me.
Sorry, but I got eight of the nine
people that went before me.
[bird chirping]
I'm making a new playlist for when I go running and workout.
What are some songs that get you hype before a game?
So I kinda bounce around,
I listen to all J. Cole.
All Chance the rapper, I listen to Meek Mill,
Drake obviously, I use an app called EarBuds,
which it shares my playlist
so if you ever wanna tune in and listen with me
before games go ahead and tune in.

Coming out of Texas Tech, Mahomes was projected as a
first or second round pick by the majority of analysts
and scouts during the throwing drills at the
NFL Scouting Combine, Patrick Mahomes' passes were clocked
at 60 miles an hour, tying Logan Thomas and Bryan Bennett
for the fastest pass ever recorded at the NFL Combine.
So the second part of that,
I was clocked at 60 mile an hour at the Combine,
that was cool, I wanted to get 60,
that was my threshold, I wanted to get into that,
'cause no other quarterback has ever really got there
except for those couple guys
and then, I guess some analysts had me as a first second
round pick when I actually turned in my like draft grade,
you can turn in and get a projection from the NFL,
they said second or third round pick
and I was like man, I'm goin' in the first round
and that was my mindset.
And so, even though analysts said first second round,
I had gotten a second or third round grade back,
and I did what I, I trained hard and impressed enough
coaches that I got drafted in the first round.

How does your workouts change during
the season versus the off season?
So that's actually a great question,
I believe during the season it's all about maintaining
the injury prevention so I do two, three workouts a week,
and it's all about keeping that strength,
keeping that mobility and keeping all those things ready
so that you go out there and can perform at your best
and then off season, it's all about,
I start off the off season kind of building
and then I try to cut down for the season.
I'm kind of in that starting of the cut now
but I try to get some muscle on me,
get bigger, lift a little bit heavier,
and then as I get closer to the season I cut down
and try to get myself prepared to go through
the season and be at my best.
And here, I'll show you a little bit, so roll the tape.

I gotta ask, how did it feel to be down
late in the Super Bowl?
Well it didn't feel good, I'll tell you that.
When it was like six, seven minutes left
and we were down two scores,
that's when you started getting to that time
where you're like we gotta do something right now.
It was surreal, I never had doubt that we were gonna win
but I for sure was like man we're runnin' out of time.
But to find a way to win that game
is something I'll be able to relive the rest of my life.
Did Pat drop 10 to 15 pounds?
Looks more athletic in this shot, talented young man.
So I did not drop 10 to 15 pounds,
but I appreciate the compliment.
But no, I'm still right at where I was around season,
I usually try to stay in that 225 range.
Like I said, at the beginning of the off season,
I get up to like 230, 232, build up
and then I try to by season be about 225
and I think this morning I weighed in at 228.
So, I'm on that drop right now,
I'm getting back down to that right weight.
What is your choice of shoe for workout?
Obviously I'm an Adidas athlete, so Adidas.
I wear all type of different Adidas shoes,
I wear the human races or the alpha bounces,
pretty much anything Adidas.
Hopefully, stuff will keep evolving with Adidas shoes
and keep getting better and better workout shoes
and have the best workout shoes, all time.
And so I wear every type of Adidas
and I love them to work out in.
Hey Pat, what was your favorite moment
at playing at Texas Tech?
My favorite moment was my sophomore year,
we played Texas at Texas on Thanksgiving day
and so it was kind of that only Thanksgiving day game on
and we came back and we won't at the end of the game
in Austin and not a lot of quarterbacks win in Austin
at Texas Tech, they used to be the powerhouse in Texas
and so to win that game at Texas and on Thanksgiving day
it was definitely my favorite moment.

You may not believe it, but it's actually me.
So Mahomes can throw a 95 plus mile an hour fastball?
That's faster than most MLB pitchers.
Yeah, well I could throw one,
back in the day I hit 96 at the state championship
when I was a junior in high school
but I don't know about these days,
I mean I would have to get back into shape and everything
like that but I did hit 96,
so that's pretty fast, I probably got a couple home runs
hit off me in the MLB if I was there.
What is it with athletes and shoes?
[laughs] That is a very true statement,
a whole lot of athletes loves shoes.
It's probably 'cause we have to wear a ton of 'em
but for me, I've always loved shoes,
I've always kept like every single pair of shoes
that I got clean then obviously getting into the NFL,
sign with Adidas, I kind of got my free range of shoes
and I got all of them.
Yeah, so the last time I counted I had over 200
and I've gotten more so probably like 220, 230 range
but I do a good job of, once I stop wearing,
there's certain shoes I stop wearing,
I usually give them to family members or friends
that wear the same size as me.
So we had a lot of great questions,
some were way out there, some of them were good,
I'm glad we got them all answered,
y'all can really understand where I'm coming from,
that's it, thank y'all.
