From the episode

Already we're getting nothing but ahead of schedule reports. Can you believe them? Can anyone believe these reports? They could be true, but I just like I I'm old enough to remember the Tom Brady reports in 2009. And they were all perfectly glowing and he's going to be perfect and wonderful. And that year he just wasn't.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Mahomes' knee injury keeps him at QB12-13; slow start and mobility concerns are real.

Mahomes is ranked QB12-QB13 heading into drafts due to legitimate concerns about his knee injury recovery. The source is skeptical of ahead-of-schedule injury reports (comparing them to Tom Brady's 2009 reports that proved overly optimistic) and notes that mobility in the pocket and comfort level will be issues during rehab. A slow start is a legitimate concern. The source doesn't expect to learn much in training camp other than whether he's active every day. Mahomes has not been in great shape historically, but this injury may force him to become more disciplined with his body like Tom Brady did.
