QB Patrick Mahomes (2017)
3-Cone: 6.88s
Short shuttle: 4.08s
You might not look back at QB Patrick Mahomes’ Combine performance and see a top performer. Even he looks back and wonders what he could have done differently.
I’m still sad i didn’t run a 4.79… could have said i was a 4.7 guy….😂😂 https://t.co/jurbu1EZHa

In the context of how Mahomes plays these numbers matter. He earned top scores in the 3-Cone and Short shuttle for the quarterback group in 2017. Those drills measure flexibility, burst, balance, agility and change in direction. The next time you see Mahomes evade a defender and make an off-platform throw, think back to these combine numbers.
