Whenever we see superstar athletes doing the things that they’re so good at doing, they seem so calm while doing it.
Patrick Mahomes has particularly mastered the art of staying calm and remaining poised in the pocket when dropping back to pass. We saw that throughout the Chiefs’ game against the Bills on Sunday.
But after taking a look at Mahomes’ heart rate, it’s pretty clear that he was just as anxious as the rest of us were watching.
Mahomes’ trainer, Bobby Stroupe, shared Mahomes’ heart rate during the game and it shot up and down with the ebbs and flows of the game.

He had an average heart rate of 146 bpm though regulation but once the game went into overtime it shot up to 160.

That’s pretty wild, man. Turns out Mahomes isn’t all cool all the time. He actually might be human and not just a football android built to take over the game.
Good to know.
