Okay, so today I wanna yap about something kinda random that I got super into researching the other day: Patrick Mahomes’ wingspan. Yeah, the dude can throw a football like nobody’s business, but I got curious about the actual specs behind the magic.
It all started when I was arguing with my buddy about quarterbacks, right? He was saying it’s all about arm strength, and I was like, “Nah, dude, it’s gotta be more than that. It’s leverage, it’s wingspan, it’s the whole package!” That’s when I decided to dive into the Mahomes rabbit hole.
First, I just Googled “Patrick Mahomes wingspan.” Easy peasy. Tons of articles popped up, but most of them were just talking about his arm talent and how he’s, you know, a football god. Not exactly the hard data I was looking for.
Then I started digging deeper. I checked out sites that usually have player measurements and stuff, like the NFL Combine results. But guess what? Quarterbacks rarely get their wingspans measured! It’s all about height, weight, 40-yard dash times, and bench press reps. Wingspan? Apparently, not a big deal for QBs, which I still think is kinda BS.
So, I had to get creative. I started looking at old draft reports and scouting profiles from when Mahomes was coming out of college. That’s where things got a little more interesting. Some of the reports mentioned his “frame” and “arm length,” but nothing concrete. It was all subjective stuff like, “He has a good build for a quarterback.” Helpful, right?
I even tried watching old game footage and pausing it whenever Mahomes was throwing, trying to guesstimate his wingspan compared to his height. Talk about a wild goose chase! It’s impossible to get an accurate measurement that way, trust me.
Finally, after way too much time spent online, I stumbled upon a forum where people were actually discussing this exact same thing! Some folks were estimating his wingspan based on his height (which is officially listed at 6’2″), using the average ratio between height and wingspan. Most people were guessing it was somewhere around 6’4″ or 6’5″.
Now, is that official? Absolutely not. But it’s the best I could find. And honestly, it makes sense. A longer wingspan would definitely give him an advantage in terms of throwing angles and getting the ball around defenders. Plus, it just looks cool, right?
So, the bottom line? Finding Patrick Mahomes’ official wingspan is like searching for the Holy Grail. It might not even exist. But based on my research (and a lot of educated guesses), I’m sticking with 6’4″ or 6’5″. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
- Started with a simple Google search.
- Dug through NFL Combine results (strikeout!).
- Reviewed old draft reports and scouting profiles.
- Tried (and failed) to visually estimate from game footage.
- Found a forum with similar wing span-obsessed fans.
- Land the best guess around 6’4″ or 6’5″.
Next time I argue with my buddy, I’ll be armed with this “knowledge.” Wish me luck!
