Chris Oladukun channeled his inner Patrick Mahomes on Thursday night.

Chris Oladokun with some Mahomes magic 🪄 DENvsKC on Prime ...

Chris Oladokun wouldn’t have believed it if he’d been told he’d start an NFL game this season. He’s the third-string quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, after all.

He’d also gotten virtually no first-team reps in four years.

Still, he’s looking like Patrick Mahomes out there, to the point where No. 15 is being called a “system QB.”

Oladokun and the Chiefs are actually making things difficult for the formidable Denver Broncos on Thursday night. The scores were tied at 13 apiece midway through the fourth quarter.

Guess the Christmas Day schedule wasn’t so bad after all…

With Mahomes and Gardner Minshew both out with season-ending injuries, up stepped Chris Oladokun.

He’s given a good account of himself and, early in the third quarter, impressively completed a pass after dropping the ball.

Check him out below:


If that isn’t a Mahomes-type play, then we don’t know what is.

“Goes to show Mahomes is a system QB if an FCS QB can do the same,” a comment read.


“This proves Mahomes is just a system QB,” one user declared.

“Mahomes system QB confirmed,” said another.

“He is doing  better than anticipated,” someone pointed out.

“oladokun really channelled his inner mahomes there,” someone else observed.

That wasn’t all, either. Oladokun found JuJu Smith-Schuster again in Mahomes fashion in the fourth quarter after escaping two Broncos defenders.


He’s certainly done his reputation very little harm tonight.
