You know—they try to mimic my voice,” Mahomes said.

He also mentioned that even if the HC makes the best impression, the coach would never showcase in the public. Resonating the same words to Reid in one of the later interviews and asking if it were true, the coach nodded to all those statements and said that his quarterback sounds like “frogfish”.
