Patrick Mahomes is being pressured by Andy Reid at Chiefs mini camp over behind-the-back pass

social media team shared a video of the quarterback throwing a behind-the-back pass for a touchdown during a recent practice.

Of course, one thing is doing it in practice and another would be in a real game setting. Mahomes loves to improvise outside of the pocket, but pulling off that kind of pass in a game that counts is too risky.Mahomes revealed that head coach Andy Reid has actually called a play during a game in which Mahomes would throw a pass like that, but Mahomes simply refuses to do it. He knows one slight mistake could end up costing his team the game, and he won’t allow himself to be the reason.

It’s another show of leadership from the best quarterback in the NFL. Despite frequently getting the headlines just by playing well and winning games, Mahomes doesn’t care for more media attention by trying that type of play in a real game.
