Training camp is usually associated with grueling drills, sweltering heat, and the serious business of roster cuts. But when you strap a microphone to Patrick Mahomes, the NFL’s best quarterback, the grind transforms into a comedy special mixed with elite athletic display. The Kansas City Chiefs’ latest “Mic’d Up” video from training camp offers a delightful, unfiltered window into the personality of the man behind the dynasty.

While fans are used to seeing the intense, screaming leader on Sundays, this footage captures the relaxed, goofy, and incredibly relatable side of Mahomes as he prepares for another championship run. From video game worries to pizza orders, here is a breakdown of the best moments from the viral clip.

“Too Old” for GTA?

The video opens with a confession that will resonate with millions of gamers. Mahomes, now 29 years old and a father of two (soon to be three), contemplates the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI.

“Can’t wait till the new GTA comes out,” he muses while stretching. “Like, I might be too old for it, but I’m still going to… I got to knock out the mission. I have to get that back going, baby.”

It’s a hilarious reminder that despite his superhuman feats on the field, Mahomes is just a guy trying to find time for his hobbies amidst a chaotic life. The acknowledgment of his “aging” status in the gaming world drew laughs from fans who have watched him grow from a rookie sensation to a veteran icon.

The QB Room Antics: The Spin Challenge

The highlight of the video, without a doubt, is the quarterback room’s “spin challenge.” In a moment of pure levity, Mahomes and his teammates decide to play a game involving spinning around a net and trying to throw a football into a target.

“You spin them five times,” Mahomes instructs, laying down the rules. What follows is pure comedy. After spinning, the MVP is visibly disoriented. “I’m dizzy, dude, I’m so dizzy!” he laughs, stumbling around before trying to locate the target. His teammates, including backup quarterbacks, shout conflicting directions: “A little more right! More left!”

The result? A throw that completely misses the mark. “Zero points,” a teammate deadpans. Mahomes, ever the competitor, immediately tries to negotiate the rules for next time. “We should go 10 spins next time,” he jokes, realizing the cameras caught every stumbling second. “I love that’s on the mic’d up.”

“That’s In the Bag Too”

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Mahomes highlight reel without a moment of jaw-dropping talent. During a practice drill, Mahomes casually executes a left-handed, behind-the-back throw. It’s the kind of play that would be a career highlight for most, but for him, it’s just a Tuesday.

“I didn’t know I had… You didn’t know I had that left too did y’all?” he brags to the defense. When a defender points out he would have been “sacked” in a real game, Mahomes doesn’t miss a beat. “I was already sacked, but left hand behind the back… I’m just letting you know I still got that. And that’s in the bag too.”

It’s a playful warning to the rest of the league: the magician is always working on new tricks.

Pizza and Playlists

The audio also captures the mundane conversations that happen between reps. Mahomes is heard curating his “season playlist,” asking teammates to send him music recommendations. “I gotta get it ready,” he says, emphasizing the importance of the right vibes for the long season ahead.

Later, the topic shifts to dinner. “John, you want any pizza for dinner, man? I’m going to go pick some up,” Mahomes asks a staff member. But being a high-performance athlete comes with dietary restrictions. “Just sauce. Just sauce and gluten-free bread,” he clarifies, showing the discipline required to stay at the top of his game—even if he’s craving a slice.

Built Different

Underneath the jokes about GTA and the dizzying games, the video reinforces the culture of the Chiefs. “Built different in the QB room,” Mahomes says at one point. He hypes up the “Let’s Go Royals” chant breaking out in the crowd and praises the intensity of the practice sessions against Steve Spagnuolo’s defense.

“This is as hard as you’re going to get in the NFL,” he tells a teammate. “And you’re getting this every day. This will prepare you for the season.”

It’s this balance—the ability to have genuine fun while maintaining a relentless standard of excellence—that makes Patrick Mahomes the ultimate leader. Whether he’s spinning in circles or winning Super Bowls, he’s enjoying every moment of the ride. And thanks to the mic’d up crew, we get to enjoy it with him.
