The Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid just let everyone know just how hard Patrick Mahomes works in the offseason.
As we all know, Netflix and the NFL: partnered to start a documentary, or docuseries, on three quarterbacks in the NFL. One of them is Patrick Mahomes, who is now a two-time Super Bowl MVP and a two-time regular season MVP. We have been told nonstop all offseason that this would give us a better feeling on how Mahomes does things during the offseason and even the season.
Mahomes even told us that we would hear some things we don't normally hear.
"They're gonna see how different I am here [in press conferences] than I am on the field," Mahomes said earlier this offseason. "I think that's the biggest thing that you're going to see. I tried to cut out as much profanity as I could. But it's hard; you would get nothing in the whole game."
Now, after a few episodes, we have seen something and heard something that just confirms everything we already thought. When Andy Reid was asked about how Mahomes handled the wide receiver situation this last offseason, his answer was priceless.
"People said, well, we lost our best receiver, which would, you know, which arguably we did, best in the national football league," Reid said on the show. "And so, well, we won't be as good; our pass game will be off. And he just took that and ran with it and said, hey, we're going to work at it. The amount of time that he spent with those guys is something that most quarterbacks in this league have not done with their players."
Mahomes not only took a bunch of new guys, with the exception of just Mecole Hardman in that receiver room, and not only put together an MVP, Super Bowl-winning season but constructed an offense that was better than anything we had ever seen out of the Chiefs.
When we heard about Mahomes holing his own little minicamp in Texas with his receivers in the offseason, we knew it was about to get real. Did anyone see coming what happened? No. But Mahomes' work ethic made it happen.
