Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show and talked about the Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes, among other things.
One of the things he talked about was the play when Mahomes took a heavy hit from San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward during Super Bowl LIV in which the Chiefs were chasing a championship. During the interview, Kelce explained that he didn't know what Mahomes was doing.
“I was like, ‘Jesus, Pat! What are we doing? It’s the second quarter. We’re trying to win this thing, man. I’ve never seen any football player more uncomfortable in a situation of having to make a one-on-one move on somebody than Patrick Mahomes in space.
However, in the same interview, Kelce did say that Mahomes has some impressive athleticism to carry the Chiefs.
“He can move and he did pull the hezzy out against the Titans on the long touchdown run. The Hezzy and then the slow spin into the end zone against the Titans. He pulled that out. You’ve got to respect him in that regard. But when he’s coming downhill and when he has a guy coming at him downhill. Man, it’s like an awkward, confusing, ‘Should I make a move? Should I jump? Should I slide?’ And then he tries to kind of slide at the end, and then just gets smoked.”
Nevertheless, Mahomes was able to recover from the hit and play the rest of the game for the Chiefs. Mahomes finished the game off with 286 passing yards and two touchdowns. In addition, he became the youngest quarterback ever to be named Super Bowl MVP
