Overview

• Mahomes has focused on diversifying his passing game by targeting rookie Xavier Worthy over Travis Kelce in drills.
• He has demonstrated marked improvement in mechanics, pocket discipline and deep-ball accuracy thanks to offseason work with trainer Bobby Stroupe and coordinator Matt Nagy.
• Teammates like Robert Tonyan have praised his sharpened accuracy and consistency, noting Mahomes’ ability to thread difficult throws.
• A 33-16 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks prompted Coach Andy Reid to abandon the conservative snap plan and give starters more game action.
• Reid confirmed that Mahomes and Kelce will play extended reps against the Chicago Bears to evaluate depth and shake off rust.
