Kudos to Veach and Reid scouting Patrick and putting in the time pre-draft.

Kudos to Hunt and Veach for seeing what they had  and extending Patrick

Kudos to Patrick for being a total professional, mature beyond his years and a commitment to be the best player he can be.

Kudos to his parents- they raised a generational talent.

Sounds like Mahomes taught Alex something. 👨‍🎓

Funny but not really true.  The decision to "develop him" may have been part Alex but mostly Reid.  There are so many intangibles that make a career not just short-term successful, but long-term, like the ins and outs of contracts, behavior, mentoring other players, how to encourage and inspire a team and generate locker room esprit without rivalries and resentments creeping up, how to study film and prepare for a game.  He also had to learn the massive Reid playbook and how to apply it.  He came in ready to lead the entire team in all these areas once he started in 2018. I give that development year a ton of credit for that.  I also trust Reid.  As a head coach you have to know who you really have in order to develop the right plays for him and let him still be himself. Who knows? Maybe Blackledge would not have been a total disaster had he had a year to learn. That was a generational mistake.
