Patrick Mahomes celebrates 5-star prospect's commitment on social media

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is having an interesting week on social media.

On Monday night, Mahomes tweeted a message upon learning of the injury to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

"Hate that man... Praying for the best," he wrote.

That quickly led to a flurry of tweets reminding Mahomes that he likely left out a comma between "that" and "man," unless he really doesn't like Rodgers. 

The star quarterback edited his tweet, added the comma and responded to fans.

"Knew I was going to need that edit button on here one of these days," he wrote. 

Just three minutes after correcting his error, Mahomes again posted a notable message.

This time celebrating Texas Tech's massive recruiting win.

Earlier in the day, Texas Tech landed its first-ever five-star recruit, Lake Belton (Texas) pass-catcher Micah Hudson, the nation's No. 9 overall prospect and No. 2 wide receiver.

That immediately fired up the Texas Tech fanbase even more.

Overall, Texas Tech's 19-man recruiting class is ranked No. 23 nationally and consists of four bluechip prospects - with Hudson as the obvious headliner.

From a forgotten comma to a big recruiting win, Mahomes certainly had a noteworthy social media experience Monday evening.
