The Kansas City Chiefs are in their ninth training camp with Patrick Mahomes and the eighth with him as the team\u2019s starting quarterback. Mahomes, who turns 30 in September, is still finding ways to wow spectators.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes Opens Eyes With Teammate in Chiefs Training Camp<\/h2>\n

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Connecting With Travis Kelce Understudy<\/h3>\n

Mahomes has been finding his teammates in noteworthy ways, including tight end Noah Gray and wide receiver Xavier Worthy. The connection with Gray came on a behind-the-back pass that raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Gray is entering his fifth NFL season and turned 26 in April. The display could be a sign of what is to come for Mahomes and the Chiefs as they prepare for what may very well be the final year of Travis Kelce\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

Gray, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, set career highs with 40 receptions, 437 yards, and 5 touchdowns in 2024.<\/p>\n

He has a 103-1,077-9 line for his career.<\/p>\n

He will have to step up if he is the Chiefs\u2019 long-term replacement for Kelce, Mahomes\u2019 top target since he became the starter. But his chemistry with Mahomes suggests there could be more there if the Chiefs lean on him more.<\/p>\n

Ex-Chiefs QB Chase Daniel spoke highly about Mahomes, specifically regarding another pass, this one to Worthy, saying it highlighted the three-time Super Bowl champion\u2019s greatness.<\/p>\n

\u201cMahomes is going launching down the field. This is, to Xavier Worthy. Xavier Worthy, 4.2 [40-yard dash]. Fastest guy ever to run the combine. Okay, I like this, because, first of all, this is the first day of camp,\u201d Daniels said during a clip shared to X on July 28. \u201cHis eyes are right down the field. As soon as he hits step No. 3, 1-2-3, ball\u2019s gone. This is the subtle differences that make I him the best in the world at what he does. They did not throw the ball deep last year.\u00a0 I truly believe that they are going to throw the ball deep this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese Chiefs, man, people \u2013 they got a sour taste in their mouth, I really believe that. I think that they\u2019re going to be back in the Super Bowl. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re going to win the Super Bowl, but they\u2019re just too good to be stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe how much Patrick Mahomes sped up his drop so he wouldn\u2019t under throw Xavier Worthy.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs won 15 games in 2024, and one of their two losses came in Week 18 while their starters rested. There is plenty of reason to believe the Chiefs can make another title run, even with the improvements made around the AFC West and conference in general.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes Gets Additional Motivation for 2025 Season<\/h3>\n

Mahomes\u2019 greatness is rarely questioned, but he can still find some motivation in the \u201cslight\u201d from the creators of the \u201cMadden\u201d video game series, EA Sports. The release of this year\u2019s \u201c99 Club\u201d \u2013 players who are rated 99 overall \u2013 did not include the Chiefs star.<\/p>\n

Two quarterbacks \u2013 the last two MVPs, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson \u2013\u00a0 both made it. As did wide receivers Ja\u2019Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.<\/p>\n

The list also includes Lane Johnson, Myles Garrett, and Saquon Barkley.<\/p>\n

“It’s fair. He’s a 98. They didn’t win the Super Bowl.”<\/p>\n

Mahomes has bigger fish to fry than worrying about his virtual rating. Still, it would hardly be the asinine thing an athlete would have used for motivation. Moreover, Mahomes has beaten both of his peers in the playoffs in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
