Patrick Mahomes wiggles his fingers as a subconscious habit when he is deeply focused and in "the zone" during a game. This finger wiggling signals that he is locked in, super competitive, and wants to keep the offensive momentum going by getting the next play called quickly. It is a reaction to his desire to maintain pressure on the opposing defense by keeping the tempo fast and relentless. Mahomes himself has said that when momentum is going their way, he wants the plays called fast to put pressure on the opponent and keep things moving in their favor. His coach Andy Reid has noted that Mahomes often doesn’t even realize he is doing it; it has become a natural reaction during his intense focus. Teammate Travis Kelce also described it as a sign Mahomes is fully locked in and pushing to keep the momentum for the Kansas City Chiefs.
In summary, Mahomes' finger wiggling is a unique and instinctive way he shows he is mentally ready, focused, and wants to keep the game's pace fast to maintain an advantage.
