Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and assistant coach Matt Nagy look on before their preseason game at Soldier Field in August.

Before he was the head coach of the Bears, Matt Nagy might have been responsible for star quarterback Patrick Mahomes landing with the Chiefs.

Speaking on the “New Heights” podcast — hosted by Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, the Eagles center — Mahomes said Nagy made sure he would impress head coach Andy Reid during a five-hour meeting before the 2017 draft.

Typically, quarterbacks are quizzed about plays without advance notice during pre-draft meetings.
