With only one NFL start under his belt, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn't seem too short on confidence - or arm strength.

The former first-round pick joined the "Stick to Football" podcast recently and was asked about a comparison with himself and draft prospect Josh Allen, particularly his arm strength.

"I've seen these things with Josh but I'm going to have to say I believe I have the stronger arm," Mahomes said, according to Kirk Larrabee of 247 Sports. "I've never seen anyone throw harder than me with the football, so until I see it in person, I believe I have the stronger arm."

Mahomes said the furthest he's ever thrown a ball is 85 yards with some help from the wind, but estimated he could chuck it 80 yards without help from the weather.
