There has been perhaps no better draft pick in the NFL since the Kansas City Chiefs took Patrick Mahomes 10th overall in 2017, and the superstar quarterback has revealed the strings he pulled to make sure he ended up at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Super Bowl LIV champion has made for a perfect fit with head coach Andy Reid, creating one of the most explosive offences the NFL has ever seen.
Speaking to teammate Travis Kelce on his New Heights podcast, Mahomes revealed the hidden role Matt Nagy, who went on to become Chicago Bears head coach, played in him being drafted by the Chiefs. Mahomes also shared that he told the Chiefs they would have to draft him in the top 12 otherwise he had been told by other teams he would be snapped up.
