The Kansas City Chiefs know that surrounding Patrick Mahomes with as many weapons as possible will only bode well for them.\u00a0 Mahomes has proven he has the ability to make those around him better and maximize their strengths.<\/p>\n

They added another one today.<\/p>\n

Breaking: Chiefs Add 6\u20191\u2033 Weapon For Patrick Mahomes (Report)<\/h3>\n
\"Breaking:
Kansas City\u2019s Patrick Mahomes gets ready to throw a pass to a receiver on the left side of the field during first half action against the Kansas City Chiefs in Orchard Park, Nov.17, 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Matt McMullen, the Chiefs\u2019 senior reporter, reported the team signed three players on Friday, August 1:<\/p>\n

\n

Two rookies \u2014 defensive back Ajani Carter and wide receiver Key\u2019Shawn Smith<\/strong> \u2014 were among the Chiefs\u2019 acquisitions, in addition to veteran defender Azizi Hearn.<\/p>\n

Carter played for the Houston Cougars in 2024, recording 22 total tackles in 11 games. Smith, a former University of Miami Hurricane and Southern Methodist University Mustang, tallied 106 receptions for 1,581 yards and 13 touchdowns as a collegian.<\/p>\n

Hearn began his NFL career in 2023, when he signed with the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

While it seems unlikely that Carter, Smith, or Hearn will earn a spot on the Chiefs\u2019 53-man roster in 2025, their inclusion in Kansas City\u2019s training camp activities may open doors for them if they earn playing time in the team\u2019s preseason exhibitions later this month.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
