The arm strength was one of several attributes that made quarterback Patrick Mahomes the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick in April.
He showed it off Thursday in the Chiefs’ preseason finale.
Mahomes connected with wide receiver Demarcus Robinson on a skinny post route for a 53-yard gain in the first quarter. The ball traveled nearly 60 yards in the air.

Mahomes received the start against the Titans with the regulars getting the night off.
The Chiefs later fumbled a handoff exchange on the drive.
