Patrick Mahomes is completely changing the game. He’s already dominated the NFL at will and he’s yet to scratch the surface of his potential, which is truly scary. That’s why he’s drawn comparisons to other legendary athletes who dominated their game right out of the gate, such as LeBron James.

Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl win last season and is picking up things where he left them this year, leading them to an immaculate 4-0 record while throwing for 1134 yards, 11 touchdowns, and no picks.

It goes without saying that he’s one of the most electrifying and entertaining athletes in the world right now. He’s must-watch television every time he’s under center, even if you’re not a football fan or don’t like the Chiefs.

NFL Fans Call Out Patrick Mahomes For Flopping Like LeBron James

Turns out that Mahomes isn’t only good for football and baseball but also for acting. The 2018 Super Bowl perfectly sold an unnecessary roughness penalty after barely being touched by a Patriots defender near the sidelines, thus drawing a lot of criticism from social media.

People claimed that he was flopping like LeBron James, who became infamous on Twitter for overreacting to contact and constantly putting the referees in a tough spot to give him a lot of calls.

The Chiefs eventually hung on to a 26-10 triumph vs. the Patriots top-tier defense. Pat completed 19 of his 29 passes for 236 yards and a couple of touchdowns, adding 8 rushes for 28 yards.

It goes without saying that the league has to protect their new face just like the NBA does with LeBron. Mahomes is a one-man show and they just can’t afford not having him out there, especially given the circumstances of this season so yeah, we can definitely see this kind of thing happening plenty of more times.
