The Denver Broncos have been treated unfairly for the last four years by the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, all of it is completely fair when you factor in the play itself, but how we got here, eh, not so much.
As much as Broncos fans hate the Chiefs, and rightfully so, we can all admit that Patrick Mahomes is pretty good at football.
However, the way the Chiefs got him was a bit of trickery. Let's take it back a bit.
Back in 2017 when Mahomes was drafted, he did a lot of pre-draft interviews, which meant hours of talking to the Chiefs' head coach Andy Reid, to see if the Chiefs wanted to take the kid from Texas Tech.
As Mahomes stated in the video from Travis and Jason Kelce’s new podcast ‘New Heights,’ Mahomes went over plays with Reid for five hours.
The offensive coordinator at the time, Matt Nagy, really wanted the Chiefs to draft Mahomes, so, he gave Mahomes their entire playbook the night before. Mahomes nailed the interview.
Then, later when the draft was actually coming up, Mahomes told the Chiefs that other teams wanted him in the 12th overall pick area. He said that because that’s where he wanted to go, was to Kansas City, and it made the Chiefs trade up to draft Mahomes.
Factoring in how it all unfolded and was able to come to fruition does not favor the broncos in any sort of way. I bet right now there are a ton of Broncos fans that would rather have Mahomes than Wilson right now.
