During his minicamp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave his assessment of the wide receiver room after mandatory minicamp.

“For sure. I think you saw even at the beginning of last year before Rashee (Rice) got hurt,” said Mahomes, “Whenever you have a guy that you have spent that time with and had that connection with, you can hit the ground running because you know those different things. Seeing that with Xavier (Worthy) this year and Hollywood (Brown) and Rashee and JuJu (Smith-Schuster) and all these guys, man.”

Last season was Mahomes’ first as a starter without 4,000 passing yards or a Pro Bowl selection. He believes a healthy and productive unit will bounce back more efficiently in 2025.

“They have done a great job of working and continuing to work to get even better.” said Mahomes, “You can talk about stuff that’s happened in prior years, and that’s where me and Travis (Kelce) have had so much success: when you get multiple and multiple years of reps with guys, you continue to get better and better on the football field.”

Mahomes finished 2024 with 3,928 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
