Sidearms, shovels & more: Patrick Mahomes’ throwing spectrum covers nearly 180 degrees

Fifty touchdowns, 5,000 yards and a variety of ways to throw the football effectively. That’s just part of the package Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes showed off in his first full season as a starting quarterback on his way to earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections as well as a possible NFL MVP award.

He’s displayed his elite arm strength, including a 69-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill during a preseason game in Atlanta. As he got more chances to play, he seemingly found different ways to spread the ball around to receivers, utilizing multiple arm slots, angles and even hands.
