Kansas City Chiefs: We found the one thing Patrick Mahomes can't do

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is only 26 yet he's always accomplished more in the NFL than most quarterbacks ever will.
Mahomes has a Super Bowl ring, a league MVP award, Super Bowl MVP honors, and four Pro-Bowl appearances.
Completely insane what he's already achieved.
Despite the rough loss against the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game last month (which, to be fair, included a poor second-half outing from Mahomes), there's an argument to be made that Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL (thanks to Tom Brady's retirement).
If Mahomes wasn't an NFL player, he'd probably be an MLB pitcher right now. He was an accomplished high school baseball player and he's the son of former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes.
It seems like there's nothing Mahomes can't do.
There is one thing, however, we found that he can't do.
The Griddy.
You're probably wondering what that is. Let me save you a google search. It's a dance that was popularized by former LSU and current Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Here's an explanation from The Sporting News:
The Griddy dance was originally invented by Louisiana's Allen Davis, a friend of former LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who wanted to create his own rhythmic dance after he was inspired by the Nae Nae craze in the mid 2010s.
Davis created the dance and a friend of his posted it on Snapchat, and the following morning, he was inundated by videos of people copying his dance.
Once Chase found himself at LSU, he introduced the dance to teammate Justin Jefferson, and the pair introduced the dance to the rest of LSU's locker room. Jefferson brought the dance to a national stage during his sophomore season in 2019 in a matchup vs. Texas, when he exploded for 163 yards and three touchdowns: After his first TD, Jefferson broke out the griddy for the world to see.
It's been everywhere in the NFL lately. But don't expect Mahomes to break out the popular dance anytime soon.
Mahomes admitted before the Pro Bowl on Sunday that he can't do the Griddy, no matter how many times he tries.
It's good to know I finally have something in common with Mahomes. Though knowing him, he'll probably figure it out eventually.
