MIAMI — The Bears will spend the rest of Patrick Mahomes’ career, and perhaps beyond, wondering what they missed when they chose Mitch Trubisky over him in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid, fresh off teaming with Mahomes to win Super Bowl LIV, was happy to fill everyone in on what his staff saw.
A day after his quarterback wiped out a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to roll the 49ers 31-20 and win Super Bowl MVP, Reid recalled the onset of general manager Brett Veach’s infatuation when Mahomes played at Texas Tech. Veach called him, “the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” and badgered Reid nonstop to look watch his film.
