I am not 100% sold on Patrick Mahomes. Spread quarterbacks are a scary lot at the next level. By John Sarianides 1.One has to assume that with the Patriots re-signing Brandon Bolden means that LeGarrette Blount is officially out of the picture. How many running backs can you carry? Seriously. 2. Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the apple of many eyes around the NFL but I still don’t buy…
