NFL star Patrick Mahomes is known for his incredible passing skills.

And the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback showed he has a new trick up his sleeve during this week’s organized workout.

Mahomes played a incredible back pass for rookie running back Carson Steele.

And Steele completed the move with a catch of his own.

Mahomes has yet to use the maneuver in an NFL game, despite using a number of unexpected passes in his career.

And the three-time Super Bowl champion admits he’s too nervous to do it – even though coach Andy Reid wants him to try it.

“I don’t think we played well enough offensively that I could pass behind the back last year,” Mahomes told Fox Sports’ First Things First.

“But it’s no one’s fault but myself, because Coach Reid wants me to take this behind my back more than anyone in the world.

“And then he deliberately makes plays so that I have the opportunity to throw the ball behind my back.

“So it’s not a coaching thing. It’s me who doesn’t have that confidence to do that in a game.”

Mahomes says he plans to adopt the play one day — and potentially against tight end Travis Kelce.

“But one of these games, man, we gotta do it,” he added.

“There has been a lot of excitement about this. We have to do this and I hope it’s for Trav.

“He’s the best at judging behind-the-back passes.”

Mahomes recently added another award to his growing list of accomplishments.

The quarterback was named the NFL’s highest-paid star by marketing revenue last year.

Mahomes earned a whopping $3.6 million in group licensing and marketing revenue during the 12 months through February, according to the NFL Players Association.

The NFL star was followed on the exclusive list by Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts ($2.7 million) and Buffalo Bills counterpart Josh Allen ($2.5 million). by Sportico.

Mahomes also did wonders for a coffee brand.

The 28-year-old subtly promoted his latest venture during his Organized Team Activities press conference last month.

He wore a t-shirt that said “THRONE SPORT COFFEE”.

Just hours later, the power of Mahomes was there for all to see as the brand became the best-selling ready-to-drink coffee on Amazon.
