For almost a decade now, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has developed a reputation as a magic man. A gunslinging escape artist who could make throws, evade pressure and raise his game to a level that prompts perplexed fans to simply ask, "How?!" in the same way on-lookers would react to a street magician finding the card you picked out of the deck by pulling it out of your pocket.
While one kind of magician does his work on a sidewalk, or if he's really made it, a stage, Mahomes saves his work for the gridiron, with thousands of observers being left slack-jawed by his sorcery in the stadium, and millions of others in a similar state in the comfort of their home or local sports bar.
