Ever since being drafted in 2017, Patrick Mahomes has dominated the NFL with his unfathomable arm strength. The Kansas City Chiefs QB is now busy with the Chiefs squad gearing up for the upcoming season. At the training camp practice, the 2x Super Bowl Champion literally scrambled after hilariously being chased by a winged defensive end.
KSHB-TV sports anchor Aaron Ladd, who captured this video, came up with a clever caption. The 27-year-old QB, on the other hand, left a five-word message for the uninvited chaser after he finally fled the field in a hurry. NFL fans got rather more creative while responding to the situation.

He reminded everyone of how Eric Berry feared horses – he’d never ride a horse-drawn carriage or pet a pony. The original video featuring Berry’s horse phobia is no longer available on YouTube.
Some fans even called it a “drill for the quarterback”. A Twitter user commented, “Tyreek be saying that’s not accurate enough.” Well, one cannot ignore that Mahomes is still the best QB throwing under pressure!
