KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ On a Sunday afternoon last fall, teenager Timothy Dorsey sat in front of the TV and flipped on the Chiefs game, same as he'd done hundreds of times before. The Chiefs have long been like a faith in his family, started by his grandfather, carried on by his father.
On this day, Dorsey watched as Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes rolled to his right to elude pressure, contorted his body in a flash and threw a deep ball back to his left.
On the money.
Whoa, the teenager thought. How'd he do that?
Dorsey is a junior at Bishop Miege High School who hopes to be the starting quarterback for the varsity football team this year, and his own training background offers a unique perspective on the collection of otherworldly Mahomes plays. That was his first thought that afternoon. Blissful appreciation.
He snickers at his second.
I bet we start practicing that play this week.
