With the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine taking place this week, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has one simple request.

Mahomes made a post Wednesday on X jokingly asking that NFL Network stop using his 40-yard dash overlay during combine coverage:

Patrick Mahomes II @PatrickMahomes

As the combine starts this week! All i ask is that <a href="https://twitter.com/nflnetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nflnetwork</a> doesn't use my 40 overlay anymore 😂😂😂

Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero

I have no authority here but … overruled. <a href="https://t.co/eTLQnQHWF4">https://t.co/eTLQnQHWF4</a>

Mahomes ran a 4.80 40-yard dash during the 2017 combine as a prospect out of Texas Tech, and video of his sprint is now frequently used as an overlay when quarterbacks take to the field for the event.

While Mahomes' 40-yard dash time isn't the slowest among quarterbacks to have ever participated in the event at the combine, it's always used as an overlay as he's now one of the top signal-callers in the NFL.

Mahomes is coming off his third Super Bowl title and is hoping to three-peat with the Chiefs next season.
