AAF quarterback Philip Nelson took a page out of Patrick Mahomes’ magic playbook on Sunday night.
Patrick Mahomes is changing the game of professional football, and now we have the proof.
While the the NBA’s all-stars were flashing their own skills during the league’s showcase game in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday night, AAF quarterback Phillip Nelson of the San Diego Fleet had some tricks of his own that were — dare we say — inspired by Mahomes?
Take his no-look pass to Demarcus Robinson against the Baltimore Ravens, for example:

The examples beg the question...
Did Patrick Mahomes make trick shots in football cool?
During a Week 2 AAF game between the San Diego Fleet and the Atlanta Legends in San Diego, Nelson appeared to take a page out of Mahomes’ magic playbook when he completed a no-look, behind-the-back, overhead pass to tight end Gavin Escobar (remember him?) — all while being taken down by three players.
Sound familiar?
