Zach Smith caught it on top of this dude鈥檚 head! Then dunked on him so hard
Authentic Markus Wheaton Jersey , it broke his glasses! They wouldn鈥檛 let us go to freshman orientations after that.鈥?/p>
Most of Mahomes vices, now banned as he protects his body for the NFL, are equally G-rated.
鈥淧arking is so hard on campus, I used to rollerblade to class,鈥?he says, wistfully.
When the waitress, who at least feigned ignorance when she first came to the table, brings over the check, she only addresses Mahomes: 鈥淚t was reaallly nice to meet you.鈥?/p>
鈥淵eah you too,鈥?Mahomes mumbles, taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm.

6:18 p.m.
Mahomes is still on the lease for his off-campus house, but he鈥檚 staying at a hotel this week. It鈥檚 easier that way; his former roommates still live at the house and there鈥檚 always commotion. Technically
Hayden Hurst Super Bowl LI Jersey , this is a business trip.
In hotel lobby, Chris Cabott, one of Mahomes鈥?agents, pulls out his laptop. In addition to handling his football contract, Cabott and his partner, longtime NFL agent Leigh Steinberg, are also overseeing Mahomes鈥?marketing. Mahomes yawns and rests his head on the table. 鈥淚鈥檓 sleepy,鈥?he says.
鈥淲e鈥檒l make sure you get a full night of sleep tonight,鈥?Cabott says. (Bell is here as well. He鈥檒l shadow Mahomes as long as they are together, in an effort to forge chemistry).
The agent pulls up a contract on his computer and Mahomes scoots next to the screen. Cabott explains a few lines regarding a deal for signing memorabilia: 鈥淭his deal would take you through April 2019, so essentially it would take you through your rookie year, your second year. You鈥檇 have to do four signings a year. All of this鈥?鈥?/p>
Mahomes interrupts. 鈥淲ould I get that for every item I do sign?鈥?/p>
鈥淵eah every item you do sign
Authentic Malik Jefferson Jersey ,鈥?Cabbott says. 鈥淚 mean, it鈥檚 already very generous. That鈥檚 double what most people have. I mean, like starting NFL quarterbacks that鈥檚 double what they have. It鈥檚 a killer deal. I鈥檓 trying to get a signing bonus on top of this, because I love you.鈥?/p>
Mahomes smirks. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a good time to be Patrick Mahomes,鈥?Cabbott continues. 鈥淥.K. for this, if you go to one of these five markets, this would be the number you鈥檇 look at. If you win offensive rookie of the year, if you get to the Super Bowl, you could get up to this number鈥︹€?/p>
The important business discussion goes largely unnoticed in the lobby of the extended stay hotel; a family of four checks in a few feet away and is being instructed that breakfast will be from 6:30 to 9:30, and Wifi is free.

6:39 p.m.
Mahomes鈥?phone rings. 鈥淯nknown Number.鈥?He picks up. It鈥檚 an NFL quarterbacks coach for a team that hasn鈥檛 shown much interest during the draft process. The conversation lasts two minutes. From Mahomes鈥?end, this is what it sounds like. 鈥淗ello鈥?Yes sir. How are you doing? 鈥?I鈥檓 good to talk to you right now 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?It鈥檚 on Friday, sir 鈥?[slight chuckle] 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?Exactly. Just trying to get it perfect for the pro day 鈥?Everyone else will run and do all of that by 9
Authentic Alex Rodriguez Jersey , hopefully by 11 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?I鈥檝e been in Lubbock the last week 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?I feel like I鈥檝e been getting better every day 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?Yes sir 鈥?OK, thank you.鈥?When Mahomes hangs up, it feels like a pretty pointless call. A tedious aspect about draft process: You always have to be on. Mahomes will get at least three of these calls a week. Sometimes a coach or personnel man wants to talk for an hour, other times it鈥檚 as mundane as this call. 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of weird because my phone is always ringing with area codes around the country, but I feel like they鈥檙e just testing me to see how I react,鈥?Mahomes says. 鈥淒o I pick up? What am I doing? What鈥檚 my mood like? Am I willing to talk football with them?鈥?/p>

7:12 p.m.
Mahomes has decided he does, indeed, want a haircut. Earlier in the day, he sent a text to make it happen. His barber, Fabian, said he鈥檇 stay after close if Mahomes wanted to come in. The barbershop, Garza鈥檚
Adidas Johnny Gaudreau Jersey , is an institution, especially for Red Raider athletes. It鈥檚 no frills; red walls, white tile floor, a vending machine that looks like it was installed in 1975, and solid $11 haircuts. Mahomes hops in the chair and doesn鈥檛 give instructions, just the usual. When it鈥檚 Bell鈥檚 turn (and then Cabott鈥檚) Mahomes takes a seat and cranes his head to the mounted television, airing NFL Network. The analysts give highlights of Miami鈥檚 pro day, featuring fellow quarterback Brad Kaaya, and Mahomes is half-interested.

8:01 p.m.
On TV, NFL Network鈥檚 Mike Mayock, the draft expert of draft experts, is previewing Texas Tech鈥檚 pro day. Mahomes perks up. Mayock: 鈥淗e runs around like he thinks he鈥檚 Johnny Manziel.鈥?To this
Wholesale Ito Smith Jersey , Mahomes chuckles like a little kid. 鈥淐ome on,鈥?he says. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a funny line.鈥?/p>
Mayock finishes the segment saying, 鈥淚s he disciplined to play in a true NFL system?鈥?Mahomes barely reacts. Fabian the barber takes offense: 鈥淲e鈥檒l show them!鈥?/p>

8:45 p.m.
Mahomes drives back to his hotel. He plans on watching the Spurs-Warriors game. Tomorrow (the final day before his pro day) is going to be big, but not as big as it could have been: At one point, Mahomes had three dinners with three NFL teams scheduled. He had a hard time wrapping his head around the logistics. 鈥淚 mean I鈥檇 have to eat at each one, right? Because I don鈥檛 want to be rude鈥?I literally don鈥檛 think I could eat three meals in a row.鈥?Plans change; two teams nixed dinners in favor of meetings or a later team visit; Mahomes is relieved to only have to eat once.
