  "account": "Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, brought excitement to practice by being mic'd up on Thursday, Aug. 13. The Chiefs shared a video of the energetic 30-year-old quarterback, who was seen hyping up his teammates and giggling on the field. Mahomes' audible enthusiasm was evident as he shouted phrases like \"Woooo\" and \"Oh yeah,\" and even whispered \"Eughhh!\" and \"Aughhh!\" while rolling on the grass.\n\nThe Chiefs' video highlighted Mahomes' positive energy, as he repeatedly told his teammates, \"Nice, nice, nice!\" and \"Here we go, here we go, here we go,\" followed by \"good job.\" Mahomes also introduced the team to the phrases \"Wa kaboom\" and \"Doggone!\" Fans were delighted by the video, with one X user demanding a \"3 hour compilation of this immediately,\" and another praising Mahomes' \"Love this energy.\"\n\nIn a previous interaction, teammate Travis Kelce had already teased Mahomes by doing an impression of his voice during a press conference on Wednesday, Aug. 11. Kelce's impression showcased the unique cadence that Mahomes brings to the team, as he explained, \"One of the most surprising things you’ll ever find out about playing with Pat Mahomes is that the guy’s got a good cadence.\" The Chiefs' first preseason game is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15, against the Los Angeles Rams at Arrowhead Stadium, setting the stage for their upcoming regular season opener on September 14 against the Denver Broncos.",
