Agreed. I don’t get the sense Mahomes was pushed in a strong way by his parents. He didn’t take football seriously until age 16 or 17. He played a bunch of different sports and was pretty damn good at all of them. His family said he was a better basketball player than anything else.
I think the multi-sport childhood has played a major role in Patrick’s success. You can see elements of baseball and basketball in how he plays on the football field. Maybe even soccer elements in his game too.
