While some praise Mahomes as a trailblazer stretching the game’s boundaries, others have expressed caution. Comments such as, “This undermines the essence of the game we cherish, and it’s disheartening to see no action taken,” and “Should I be genuinely impressed by this? It appears unremarkable and quite achievable,” reveal the divided sentiments within the fan base.

Many fans jumped up with comments like; “This hardly qualifies as impressive” and “Let’s be realistic… he could have easily executed a conventional throw or a shovel pass,” while another opined, “If he truly possesses exceptional skills, he should execute behind-the-back passes consistently.”

Despite the criticism, Patrick Mahomes’ eye-popping behind-the-back throw attempt continues to elicit mostly positive replies. Offensive Tackle, Wanya Morris, who had not observed the event, amazed, “He’s truly a magician. It’s mind-blowing. I’ll review the footage post-practice and think, ‘I had no clue he pulled that off.'”

“As an offensive lineman, your focus isn’t on the ball; you have to intuitively track its position. To witness him achieve such accuracy with a behind-the-back pass is simply astonishing. Let’s be honest-no one else can replicate that.”

Safety Justin Reed, another player who became aware of the spectacle, gave his thoughts: “I didn’t personally witness it, but I’m not surprised. Mahomes introduces innovative elements all the time. I’ve seen him experimenting with cross-body left-handed throws during pregame warm-ups. He infuses a sense of fun and continuously pushes his boundaries.”
