00:00
This is Patrick Mahomes
00:01
and I’m going undercover on the internet.
00:03
[light music]
00:06
This is Actually Me.
00:08
[light music]
00:09
First up, let’s look at Twitter.
00:11
[light music]
00:13
If you could throw to one Hall of Fame receiver
00:15
who would it be and why?
00:17
It would probably be Randy Moss,
00:19
just ’cause to have that size, that speed, that athleticism,
00:23
probably just throw it as far as I could,
00:24
kinda like I do with Tyreek a little bit
00:26
and he can go get it.
00:28
[bird chirping]
00:29
Next, if Patrick Mahomes wins one
00:31
more Super Bowl in his career,
00:32
does that put him about Aaron Rodgers for all time?
00:35
So I don’t know if a lot of people remember
00:36
the beginning of Aaron Rodgers’ career,
00:38
but I mean, he went to the Super Bowl and made a lot of
00:40
the same and more throws that I made,
00:43
I mean he’s one of the best all time,
00:44
he’s someone that I take a lot of stuff from.
00:46
So, to me, I’m just trying to get somewhere close
00:49
by the end of my career to where he is.
00:51
So, to be around that by the end of my career,
00:54
that would be the goal.
00:56
Has BrittanyLynne8 wore you out with all those workouts?
00:59
Uh, 100%, she’s killed me with the workouts,
01:03
especially at the beginning.
01:04
Here, let me show you how I’ve been workin’ out.
01:06
The amount of reps, like is unreal.
01:08
I have to like stop doin’ all the reps sometimes.
01:10
Resistance bands, kettle bells, dumbbells,
01:14
just gettin’ after it,
01:15
she’s used to workin’ out at homes, definitely not me.
01:17
Could Patrick Mahomes have played basketball at KU?
01:20
The real answer is absolutely not,
01:22
but in my mind I think I could have.
01:25
Maybe walk on and be a benchwarmer,
01:27
I could do that if you want,
01:28
submit. [bird chirping]
01:29
Next up, we got Quora.
01:31
[light music]
01:33
Did Patrick Mahomes break the Madden curse?
01:36
Apparently there’s a curse if you’re on the cover of Madden,
01:39
that you get injured or something happens to you
01:41
that next season, I don’t know if I broke it,
01:44
but I definitely battled it for a little bit of time there
01:47
and then came out on top,
01:48
so I don’t know if it’s actually true
01:49
but I did get hurt, came back from it
01:51
and got to win the Super Bowl so I mean
01:53
I at least got through it and beat it there in the end.
01:56
What is Patrick Mahomes’ throwing release time?
02:00
I have zero idea,
02:02
as long as it’s fast enough to not get intercepted,
02:05
I’ll take that.
02:06
Why can’t Patrick Mahomes play pickup basketball anymore?
02:09
So, I was playin’ pickup basketball,
02:12
got posted online, we got a call from my GM
02:14
Brett Veach and it wasn’t like,
02:16
you can’t play, but it was like I would really not like
02:19
you to play, so when it comes from that guy,
02:23
that’s almost like yeah, you can’t play.
02:25
I knew when they posted the video I was gonna get
02:27
in trouble because they tagged Bleacher Report,
02:29
it was fun while it lasted, next.
02:33
In an NFL commercial, Patrick Mahomes puts ketchup
02:35
on a steak, is that really something people do?
02:38
I don’t know if it’s really something that people do,
02:40
but that is really something that I do.
02:41
Like, 100%, I had steak last night,
02:44
and I put ketchup on it.
02:46
It was like a ribeye, like expensive steak
02:49
and then it made it even better,
02:50
I threw a little bit of ketchup on the side
02:52
so if you haven’t tried it,
02:53
I would try it because it is delicious.
02:57
Will Patrick Mahomes become the GOAT?
03:00
It’s pretty early on in my career to be sayin’
03:03
anything like that obviously I’ve had a good start
03:05
to the career but to be the GOAT
03:08
you have to be consistent through your entire career
03:10
playin’ at a high level
03:11
and there’s some guys in the NFL
03:13
and in all other sports that have done it
03:15
so I have a very long ways to go.
03:18
All right, movin’ on to Instagram.
03:19
It’s Actually Me.
03:20
What throwing mechanics did you learn from
03:22
your father and applied to your game?
03:24
Playin’ baseball I used to do side arm,
03:26
you see all the different type of stuff where I’m like
03:28
throwin’ it from different arm angles.
03:29
Long toss with my dad built arm strength,
03:31
and it taught me that you can’t always throw
03:33
from the perfect platform and you have to still be accurate
03:35
so that definitely applies to my football game.
03:37
What video games do you like the most?
03:39
And are you into streaming or watching streamers?
03:42
So my favorite video game is Call of Duty,
03:43
I’ve been big on Call of Duty since like
03:46
I was in high school, like freshman year of high school,
03:49
eighth grade even maybe.
03:50
I’ve always been a Call of Duty fan,
03:52
I play Madden obviously.
03:53
I play 2K, I play a lot of the sports games.
03:56
And to answer your second question,
03:59
I don’t stream, just ’cause I feel like
04:02
I’m good but not that good.
04:04
And so, I don’t stream, but I’ll watch streamers
04:08
every once and a while but I can’t sit there
04:09
for more than like five to 10 minutes watching them
04:11
like I don’t see how people can sit for like hours
04:13
and watch people just play video games, next.
04:17
How’s your knee doing?
04:17
Looking great man!
04:19
So my knee has been doing awesome,
04:20
obviously I’ve been working with it all off season,
04:22
like I did during the season
04:24
but I actually feel like all the work that I’ve put in
04:27
for injury prevention on my knee that I’m actually
04:30
probably stronger than it was before
04:31
as far as my quad and hip flexor and everything like that
04:34
that holds that kneecap in place
04:36
and I mean, I do so much extra work on that stuff
04:38
just to obviously with the injury that I’ve had
04:41
that I feel like i’mm stronger than ever with those muscles.
04:44
Yeah so the specific exercises that I do are like
04:46
a lot of like single leg squats,
04:48
single leg raisers, a lot of that stuff
04:50
is really building those muscles, builds that quad,
04:53
it really holds that kneecap in place.
04:55
So it’s just Armani, a picture of when I’m in my suits.
04:59
All of my suits I get custom made by a guy
05:01
that is out of Dallas, Texas.
05:04
Actually he’s from Tyler Texas my hometown
05:06
and he made me my first suit for me
05:09
for my draft day party so I kinda just stayed with him
05:11
and he does a great job, his names Preston.
05:14
He does a great job of keeping my suits clean
05:16
and keeping me one of the freshest on the field at all times
05:20
More Twitter, man gets a Patrick Mahomes Champ Stamp tattoo.
05:24
Yeah, so this was the weirdest probably moment
05:28
I’ve ever had with a fan interaction,
05:31
I remember goin’ on Kimmel and no one tellin’ me
05:34
he was literally just sitting in the first row
05:36
and they were like ey, we wanna show you something
05:38
and it was a dude with almost a life size portrait
05:41
of me on his back and I was literally
05:44
sitting there goin’ what in the world did I just get into.
05:48
[bird chirping]
05:48
Actually, it looked better in person than it did
05:51
on TV I think but it was,
05:53
I don’t think y’all realize how big it was,
05:55
like it was a big, it wasn’t a little tattoo at all.
05:59
Who do you think is the best player at their respective
06:01
sports is it LeBron James in basketball,
06:03
Patrick Mahomes in football or Mike Trout in baseball?
06:09
Taking me out of this, first off,
06:11
both these other guys have multiple MVPs,
06:13
been at the top of the sport for a long time.
06:15
[bird chirping]
06:16
I would give it to LeBron right now,
06:18
just ’cause he’s done it for longer than Mike has
06:20
even though Mike has done it for a long time
06:22
and is a beast on the baseball field.
06:24
He has been at the top of the game
06:26
since he’s entered the league at 18,
06:28
now 17 years in he’s still top of the game,
06:31
so I mean definitely have to give him the nod.
06:33
[bird chirping]
06:34
Posted!
06:35
What would your reaction be if Patrick Mahomes retired
06:37
from the Kansas City Chiefs and signed a contract
06:39
with the Kansas City Royals?
06:41
Well definitely nothing that would happen any time soon,
06:44
I’m lovin’ football, lovin’ playin’ for the Chiefs,
06:47
I mean I’m never gonna throw anything out so maybe one day.
06:51
[bird chirping]
06:52
Off the top of your head,
06:53
do you remember every player selected before
06:55
you in the NFL draft?
06:57
Let’s see, Miles Garret was one.
07:01
Two was Mitchell Trubisky.
07:03
Three, Solomon Thomas.
07:06
Four, who picked fourth?
07:10
I wanna say Leonard Fournette?
07:13
Five
07:16
I can’t remember who went fifth,
07:18
but I know for sure I got four of them.
07:20
Christian McCaffrey went in front of me,
07:22
John Ross, Corey Davis, Jamal Adams,
07:25
I’m missing one person, I can’t,
07:29
y’all have to give it to me,
07:30
I can’t remember the one person that went before me.
07:33
Sorry, but I got eight of the nine
07:35
people that went before me.
07:36
[bird chirping]
07:42
I’m making a new playlist for when I go running and workout.
07:44
What are some songs that get you hype before a game?
07:47
So I kinda bounce around,
07:49
I listen to all J. Cole.
07:51
All Chance the rapper, I listen to Meek Mill,
07:54
Drake obviously, I use an app called EarBuds,
07:57
which it shares my playlist
07:58
so if you ever wanna tune in and listen with me
08:00
before games go ahead and tune in.
08:02
Wikipedia.
08:03
[light music]
08:04
Coming out of Texas Tech, Mahomes was projected as a
08:07
first or second round pick by the majority of analysts
08:09
and scouts during the throwing drills at the
08:12
NFL Scouting Combine, Patrick Mahomes’ passes were clocked
08:14
at 60 miles an hour, tying Logan Thomas and Bryan Bennett
08:17
for the fastest pass ever recorded at the NFL Combine.
08:20
So the second part of that,
08:21
I was clocked at 60 mile an hour at the Combine,
08:25
that was cool, I wanted to get 60,
08:27
that was my threshold, I wanted to get into that,
08:29
’cause no other quarterback has ever really got there
08:32
except for those couple guys
08:33
and then, I guess some analysts had me as a first second
08:37
round pick when I actually turned in my like draft grade,
08:40
you can turn in and get a projection from the NFL,
08:43
they said second or third round pick
08:45
and I was like man, I’m goin’ in the first round
08:47
and that was my mindset.
08:48
And so, even though analysts said first second round,
08:51
I had gotten a second or third round grade back,
08:53
and I did what I, I trained hard and impressed enough
08:57
coaches that I got drafted in the first round.
08:59
More Instagram.
09:01
How does your workouts change during
09:02
the season versus the off season?
09:04
So that’s actually a great question,
09:05
I believe during the season it’s all about maintaining
09:07
the injury prevention so I do two, three workouts a week,
09:11
and it’s all about keeping that strength,
09:12
keeping that mobility and keeping all those things ready
09:14
so that you go out there and can perform at your best
09:17
and then off season, it’s all about,
09:19
I start off the off season kind of building
09:21
and then I try to cut down for the season.
09:23
I’m kind of in that starting of the cut now
09:25
but I try to get some muscle on me,
09:26
get bigger, lift a little bit heavier,
09:28
and then as I get closer to the season I cut down
09:30
and try to get myself prepared to go through
09:32
the season and be at my best.
09:34
And here, I’ll show you a little bit, so roll the tape.

09:55
I gotta ask, how did it feel to be down
09:57
late in the Super Bowl?
09:58
Well it didn’t feel good, I’ll tell you that.
10:00
When it was like six, seven minutes left
10:03
and we were down two scores,
10:04
that’s when you started getting to that time
10:05
where you’re like we gotta do something right now.
10:08
It was surreal, I never had doubt that we were gonna win
10:12
but I for sure was like man we’re runnin’ out of time.
10:14
But to find a way to win that game
10:17
is something I’ll be able to relive the rest of my life.
10:20
Did Pat drop 10 to 15 pounds?
10:22
Looks more athletic in this shot, talented young man.
10:25
So I did not drop 10 to 15 pounds,
10:26
but I appreciate the compliment.
10:28
But no, I’m still right at where I was around season,
10:32
I usually try to stay in that 225 range.
10:34
Like I said, at the beginning of the off season,
10:35
I get up to like 230, 232, build up
10:37
and then I try to by season be about 225
10:40
and I think this morning I weighed in at 228.
10:42
So, I’m on that drop right now,
10:44
I’m getting back down to that right weight.
10:47
What is your choice of shoe for workout?
10:48
Obviously I’m an Adidas athlete, so Adidas.
10:51
I wear all type of different Adidas shoes,
10:52
I wear the human races or the alpha bounces,
10:55
pretty much anything Adidas.
10:56
Hopefully, stuff will keep evolving with Adidas shoes
11:00
and keep getting better and better workout shoes
11:03
and have the best workout shoes, all time.
11:05
And so I wear every type of Adidas
11:07
and I love them to work out in.
11:10
Hey Pat, what was your favorite moment
11:11
at playing at Texas Tech?
11:12
My favorite moment was my sophomore year,
11:15
we played Texas at Texas on Thanksgiving day
11:18
and so it was kind of that only Thanksgiving day game on
11:20
and we came back and we won’t at the end of the game
11:22
in Austin and not a lot of quarterbacks win in Austin
11:25
at Texas Tech, they used to be the powerhouse in Texas
11:28
and so to win that game at Texas and on Thanksgiving day
11:32
it was definitely my favorite moment.
11:35
YouTube. [light music]
11:38
You may not believe it, but it’s actually me.
11:40
So Mahomes can throw a 95 plus mile an hour fastball?
11:43
That’s faster than most MLB pitchers.
11:45
Yeah, well I could throw one,
11:47
back in the day I hit 96 at the state championship
11:50
when I was a junior in high school
11:51
but I don’t know about these days,
11:52
I mean I would have to get back into shape and everything
11:55
like that but I did hit 96,
11:58
so that’s pretty fast, I probably got a couple home runs
12:02
hit off me in the MLB if I was there.
12:04
What is it with athletes and shoes?
12:06
[laughs] That is a very true statement,
12:09
a whole lot of athletes loves shoes.
12:10
It’s probably ’cause we have to wear a ton of ’em
12:11
but for me, I’ve always loved shoes,
12:15
I’ve always kept like every single pair of shoes
12:17
that I got clean then obviously getting into the NFL,
12:19
sign with Adidas, I kind of got my free range of shoes
12:22
and I got all of them.
12:23
Yeah, so the last time I counted I had over 200
12:25
and I’ve gotten more so probably like 220, 230 range
12:28
but I do a good job of, once I stop wearing,
12:31
there’s certain shoes I stop wearing,
12:32
I usually give them to family members or friends
12:34
that wear the same size as me.
12:36
So we had a lot of great questions,
12:38
some were way out there, some of them were good,
12:41
I’m glad we got them all answered,
12:43
y’all can really understand where I’m coming from,
12:45
that’s it, thank y’all.
