@Chiefs Pat Maholmes still figuring it out but my god he’s got a howitzer for an arm. #NFLPreseason Young Qbs all over the @NFL. Future is bright.

Can't say we're surprised to see Patrick Mahomes, the 2017 NFL Draft class leader in deep passing yards, showing off his cannon. https://t.co/JJXSCRkf1J

Of all the young QB’s:

Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson
Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold
Baker Mayfield, Deshaun Watson,
Mitchell Trubisky....
The QB I believe has the most upside & potential, and will have the best year is Patrick Mahomes
Elite level arm strength, moxie, mobility and weapons!
