Patrick Mahomes’ arm is exceptional. NFL fans have heard all about his throwing velocity and the bizarre angles at which he can release the football, thanks to the flexibility of his arm.

But apparently, his knee is another example of his exceptional anatomy. While the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback suffered a dislocated kneecap in Week 7, he remarkably participated in practice in Week 8 and may return as soon as Week 9 (but is more likely to return in Week 10). There seems to be a scientific explanation for the Chiefs quarterback’s speedy recovery.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport detailed what he’s hearing about Mahomes’ knee injury and his exceptional anatomy.

“The Kansas City Chiefs sent out the scans to several doctors across the country. The feedback they received is that it’s better than anything they imagined. … I’m told it goes back to how Patrick Mahomes’ knee is actually constructed. Basically, he has loose ligaments — what we would call double-jointed. That’s why (when) the kneecap dislocated, it only compromised one ligament, which is crazy, which is something that rarely happens. And it could accelerate Patrick Mahomes’ return to the field.”

As usual, Mahomes seems to have an unfair advantage. All those ketchup-y steaks seem to be paying off.
