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.
Sharpe, making his return to the show, vowed to tackle Smith the next time they were in the studio together, though Smith clarified he was not implying he could match an NFL player’s skills. “What I’m saying is it’s not a big deal for someone as great as him to throw a behind-the-back two-yard pass,” Smith said, emphasizing that he was not suggesting he could replicate Mahomes’ feats.The debate highlighted the ongoing rivalry between the two commentators, who often take opposing stances on key NFL storylines. Ultimately, the video showcased their differing perspectives on the likelihood of Mahomes and Jackson achieving their respective goals in the upcoming season, with both analysts passionately defending their positions.
Stephen A. Smith’s Impersonation of Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Trends Hard

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.
With the NFL set to return soon, fans will get the chance to see the real thing happen on the field. By then, Smith will be seen dropping his personal take on the games, and not making hilarious passes in the studio.
