For as long as anyone can remember, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith has always given life to any take about about sports in any medium. His recent stunt, which involved impersonating Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and how he passes the ball, has gotten a lot of online attention lately.
In a spirited debate on ESPN’s First Take, Smith and Shannon Sharpe discussed the likelihood of Mahomes and Lamar Jackson achieving significant feats in the upcoming NFL season. Smith argued that the Kansas City Chiefs’ star is poised to win his third consecutive Super Bowl, while Sharpe believed Jackson has a better chance of repeating as MVP.

The discussion took an entertaining turn when Smith attempted to recreate Mahomes’ impressive behind-the-back pass from a recent preseason game. With an unimpressed Molly Qerim watching, Smith grabbed a football and urged a crew member to get involved, as he passed the ball to them behind his back.
