Patrick Mahomes Goes Undercover on YouTube, Twitter and Instagram

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.

09:36

09:37

09:38

09:48

♪ We on our way up ♪

09:51

♪ I’m on my way I’m on my way I’m on my way up ♪

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.
