Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is proud to see HBCU players drafted into the NFL | chiefswire
One of Mahomes’ new teammates is rookie cornerback Joshua Williams, one of only four HBCU players drafted this past April. The former league MVP took time after training to discuss his excitement about the addition of more HBCU players into the NFL during Thursday’s press conference following OTAs.
“Yeah, I mean, it was super exciting for me,” Mahomes said. “When you look back, they didn’t have a player drafted last year. And then now to have four guys going. You just wanted to shed light on these guys. They’re guys that are super talented, they’re playing in a competitive division and you want to give them that platform. I think the HBCU bowl game gave them that, and you saw that they got on that platform, they made plays happen. They had the combine as well. And then you got four guys getting drafted and more in camps. And so I think just kind of giving them that light and then letting them go do what they’ve been doing. And they’ve been doing it for a long time. So we give them that platform, and they made the most of it.”
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes on replacing Tyreek Hill: ‘It’s going to be everybody’ | 247sports
“That’s what you’re going to see in this offense this year, it’s going to be everybody,” Mahomes said. “It’s not going to be one guy. Obviously Travis [Kelce] is still going to get a lot of completions, a lot of yards, but the whole receiving room is going to have big days and that can be something we use to our advantage.”
New to the Chiefs WR unit via free agency is Juju Smith-Schuester, Corey Coleman, Marquez Valdez-Scantling and Justyn Ross, who signed as an undrafted free agent following a successful college career at Clemson.
Justin Reid already the leader of the Chiefs defense | nbcsports
The last time the Chiefs signed a free agent safety who last played for the Texans it worked out pretty well for them. Kansas City added Tyrann Mathieu in 2019, and he made three Pro Bowls and earned two All-Pros.
Only 10 weeks into his tenure with the Chiefs, Reid already has become the leader of the defense, which has eight new players in the secondary.
“You earn it every day,” Reid said, via Nate Taylor of TheAthletic.com. “In my role in the back end, your teammates (have to) know you’re going to be where you’re going to be and you’re going to handle your responsibility on the field. That’s what comes first. Your leaders need to be your best players, but your best players also have to be your hardest workers. I live by that.”

Patrick Mahomes Says Under-the-Radar Chiefs WR ‘a Pleasant Surprise’ | heavy
“[Justin] Watson’s been a pleasant surprise. That dude can roll,” Mahomes explained during his press conference at OTAs on May 26. “He came down to Texas, and I threw with him the first day. I called Veach, and I was like, ‘How fast is this guy?’ He was running so fast and I was late on my throws.”

Faceless down-votes here at AG is one symptom of the destructive aggression infecting society and drowning out reasonable voices.
“Whisper A Prayer for the Dying”
Yesterday’s Monday Night Open Thread: just checked back out of curiosity and there it is -case in point for faceless scumbag downvotes.
I did downvote the news of the tragic death of the Vikings player. But I also claimed it too, wasn’t nameless. I just don’t know how to react to that news – I don’t want to approve of tragedy, but at the same time I also am not against the report or the person who made the report. (1st world problems).
So I downvote – but own it when I do.
Exactly, you owned it and explained yourself, so – not faceless, and I’m good with that.
