“Mahomes throws the ball as well as you can throw the ball in three different ways,” Avery said. “Think of a pitcher who throws three great pitches. He throws the ball firm [on a straight line] as well as anyone. He’s also great on those touch balls that go right over [the hands of defensive backs] and fall right into the receivers’ laps. He drops them in perfectly.
“And he also pushes the ball down the field with high trajectory passes. He has the three most important pitches. And he can put those three pitches exactly where he wants to put them whenever he wants to put them.
