An NFL writer for the Guardian believes teams are now trying to keep up with the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Oliver Connolly called it the “Mahomesification” of the NFL.
“Thursday night’s first round of the NFL draft was all about crowning the league’s new batch of stars, it also served as confirmation of the Mahomesification of the league,” Connolly wrote.
“Whether they admit it or not in the immediate aftermath, Mahomes was baked into the decision-making process of every front-office executive on Thursday night: Either they’re chasing a Mahomes-lite, or they’re trying to find a way to keep up with the real deal.
