PHOENIX — The ankle sprain was so severe that the pain covered a distance that could be measured in both miles and years.
The images of Patrick Mahomes traveled all the way from Kansas City, arriving on Jack Youngblood's television down in Florida as a reminder of a similar scene more than four decades old.
"He was wound up on the sidelines," Youngblood said. "Did you see him? He was going, 'No, no, hell no!' He's like I was and still am — as hard-headed as a 7-year-old."
