Patrick Mahomes gave a hint that he could take over the NFL at his Texas Tech pro day before the 2017 NFL Draft.
Mahomes, who played in an Air Raid offense in college that was not thought to translate to the NFL, was considered a first-round pick by the time the draft came but was not considered one of the elite quarterback prospects.
However, at his pro day, he reportedly wowed scouts with a series of throws, including an 80-yard Hail Mary that served as the grand finale.
Wes Welker, now a receivers coach with the San Francisco 49ers, was in attendance for Mahomes' pro day, at the time working with the Houston Texans. He told Sports Illustrated's Michael Rosenberg that when Mahomes' workout ended, scouts applauded. Welker, who was new to coaching, had to ask if that was normal. A scout told him it was not.
