to make his first home start in Kansas City Marquise Goodwin Jersey White , the fans had better not blink when he has the ball in his hands. Mahomes has one of the strongest arms the NFL ever has seen, and he has displayed it throughout the first two weeks of the regular season.“I know when I am amped up, I throw it pretty hard sometimes, but luckily I have guys that can catch it,” Mahomes told reporters this week. “There is so much difference of having arm ability. You have to be able to throw it hard, you have to be able to throw it with touch. You have to be able to do everything in this league and I try to get better at every single one of those throws every single day.鈥滺e said his hardest throw ever came two weeks ago, against the Chargers.“I have probably thrown it as hard as I can a couple times,” Mahomes said. “Whenever there are those tight windows, I let it go. I think the ball to Sammy [Watkins] the first week against the Chargers was probably the hardest I have ever thrown it. It was rifled in there.鈥滺e’s been rifling it all his life. As he explained last month during a visit with PFT Live, Mahomes forced a very specific change in the rules of T-ball when he a six-year-old shortstop. After breaking the glasses of a teammate with a rocket to first base, Mahomes moving forward was instructed to roll the ball instead.

Without any setbacks, they threw him out in practice, and he was a participant. The offense wasted no time getting McKinnon the ball on a quick pass.One of the first questions was if McKinnon had any flashbacks to when he was hurt last year. Later on, McKinnon was asked why he doesn’t wear a brace. McKinnion said both are all mental, and that he feels fine and doesn’t see a need for the brace. One of McKinnon’s reasons was that he has never worn one before.McKinnon went in-depth about how being out of football for 11 months helped him see the game differently. He said sitting up top in the box with running backs coach Robert Turner during games helps him see the game from a different point of view. Out of nowhere, McKinnon mentioned how he learned from Mike Shanahan as well. Here’s the five-minute interview: GreenlawThe speedy linebacker joined us after McKinnon. Greenlaw started by talking about how important speed is at linebacker in today’s game, and how the 49ers have plenty of it at the second level. Greenlaw had a big hit on Kyle Juszczyk during the team period. He spoke about how it’s essential to protect his teammates as well.The best part about this was when Greenlaw was asked if he had the opportunity to pick NaVorro Bowman’s brain. He said the two talked about weight, and how you don’t need to be a big guy to be a hard hitter in this league. Greenlaw said there’s no doubt he models his game after Bowmann. If you played linebacker coming up during the past decade, you modeled yourself after the 49ers duo.I asked how important it is not to have to rely on your athletic ability. We know he can run, but everyone is fast at this level. That question comes in around the seven-minute mark. Greenlaw gave thorough insight through the entire interview. Here it is:
