Patrick Mahomes was left stunned on Saturday by an incredible catch in a flag football game.
The 2025 NFL Flag Championships were broadcast on ESPN, and Brysen Wright of Jaguars Elite produced a true highlight reel moment which ultimately went viral online.
With three defenders trying to stay with him, Wright found a little space in the endzone and stretched to make a jaw-dropping catch with just one hand.
Wright was able to complete the catch as he fell to the ground, and the play was posted by the NFL to X - where it was marveled at by Mahomes.
'Yooo what?,' he replied with three laughing-crying emojis.
The video has racked up 3.6million views on X as of Saturday night, as broadcasters Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers were shocked by it as well.

'I'm not sure I have seen a better catch, period,' Hart said.
'Tom, we have called a lot of games together. That is the best catch I have ever seen in-person,' Rodgers replied.
Flag football is set to debut at the Olympics in 2028 with both men's and women's divisions.
And NFL owners recently approved a resolution allowing the league's players to suit up in the sport.
While Mahomes said in May that he'll 'probably leave [flag football] to the younger guys,' there has been speculation that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts could participate after the NFL ran a commercial of him lighting the Olympic torch.
'It's an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of global sport' commissioner Roger Goodell said after the resolution.
'I know first-hand that the inclusion of flag football in the Olympics has sparked a tremendous amount of excitement among NFL players interested in the chance to compete for their country on the world stage. We are thrilled that they will now have the chance.'
Wright, meanwhile, seems to have a bright future ahead of him in football as well.
The class of 2028 wide receiver out of Jacksonville, Florida has already received a slew of college offers, including from schools like Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Texas, and Ohio State.
