Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes completed a behind-the-back pass — then used it as a deke

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw multiple touchdown passes with underhand throws during the 2020 season.

And his left-handed toss in Denver is the stuff of legends.

Could the behind-the-back pass be the next unorthodox throw Chiefs fans see from Mahomes this season?

Mahomes has pulled out the behind-the-back pass in prior training camps, but the one he threw on Monday traveled 20 yards to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

I’d tweet about Patrick Mahomes throwing a 20-yard behind the back pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, but you’d probably want video, which we aren’t allowed to shoot during this period. So I’ll hold off.

Fans don’t have such restrictions, and Twitter user Braiden Turner shared a video of the pass. This is pretty cool:

Opposing defenses can’t possibly prepare for the eventuality of Mahomes throwing a pass behind his back, right?

Mahomes seems to prepare for any eventuality, so he could maybe use a fake behind-the-back pass as a way to fool the defense.

Does that sound unlikely? Well, take a look at what happened at training camp on Tuesday:

This is just one more thing that opposing teams will have to consider when preparing to face the Chiefs during the 2021 season.
