Former NFL Head Coach Jon Gruden Reveals He Wanted To Punch Patrick Mahomes Over This Single Reason

Jon Gruden might never coach in the NFL again, but he’s hardly let his exile keep him away from football.

The former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach spent some time with the Chiefs at training camp during the offseason and was spotted wearing team gear, leading many to believe he had been hired by the defending Super Bowl champs.

 

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has since revealed that it was just a friendly visit as he and Gruden maintain a great relationship.

 

Gruden, though, has admitted that he felt like punching one of Reid’s players, namely Patrick Mahomes.

 

The quarterback recently went viral for pulling off an insane behind-the-back pass to tight end Travis Kelce during a preseason game against the Detroit Lions. It was so good, Gruden nearly chose violence.

“He completed a pass behind his back. I wanted to go out and punch him for doing that,” the 61-year-old remarked, per MLFootball. “That’s just not fair. I mean, he completes them left-handed, behind his back, under his legs. The guy is a dazzling magician playing QB.”

 

 

 

Jon Gruden Might Feel Like Throwing Punches All Season

 

Fans are hoping to see a repeat of his in the regular season, though it’s very unlikely Mahomes will take the chance in a meaningful game.

 

Reid has already suggested that he won’t stand for it, although he was the one who encouraged the QB to give it a try.

 

Meanwhile, Jon Gruden has launched his own YouTube sports channel and already has a short episode out in which he breaks down the upcoming clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in Brazil.

Hopefully, he won’t want to punch anyone after watching the game on Friday.
