Summary

Patrick Mahomes sat down with Adam Schefter on the podcast way back in April 2017 as he visited Bristol before the NFL draft. In an interesting snapshot of the past — before cementing his legendary status in the NFL — Patrick and Adam discuss the draft process, his impression of Andy Reid, his visits with a variety of team, something he learned from Peyton Manning he vowed to continue, what it feels like to throw for 700+ yards in a game, his Chipotle order, the possibility of returning to baseball if football didn’t pan out, and what he considered a successful NFL career.
