Patrick Mahomes criticized for playing 'street ball' by an NFL DC | UNDISPUTED

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes ranked second in The Athletic’s quarterback tiers right behind Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. However, one veteran defensive play caller had this to say about the KC QB.
“We love Mahomes because of his unorthodox throws, not because of his natural pocket presence and when that disappears, that is when they lose games. I don’t think that is a 1. I think that is a 2. Nothing against the guy. I love the kid. But take his first read away and what does he do? He runs, he scrambles and he plays street ball.” Shannon Sharpe reacts.
