Before the 2023 NFL draft, Mahomes had also taken it upon himself to mentor a prospective draft for the Chiefs. He had mentored Zay Flowers with a few workout sessions together prior to the draft. To the Chiefs’ dismay, Flowers was drafted by the Ravens. However, he made it clear that he learned a lot from this opportunity of working out with Mahomes.
As the news of Curry mentoring a prospective draft went viral, fans took to the comments of the Instagram post to express their shock at the interesting mentorship opportunity that Curry has taken on.
