Patrick Mahomes Had Another Great Finger-Counting Message for His Doubters
Count ’em
Every game Patrick Mahomes plays makes his pre-NFL football career more unbelievable. How did this guy only receive scholarship offers from Texas Tech, Houston and Rice? How did he not win more awards in college? How did he slip to 10th in the draft?
He isn’t afraid to let people know that he remembers the slights against him, either. When Mahomes and the Chiefs blew out Mitch Trubisky’s Bears in primetime on Sunday Night Football last season, Mahomes celebrated a touchdown pass by counting to 10 on his fingers, a reference to Chicago picking Trubisky at No. 2 instead of him.
After a touchdown in Monday night’s win over the Ravens, Mahomes did something very similar.
