Arrowheadlines: Patrick Mahomes and Sammy Watkins may make productive duo

7) Patrick Mahomes and Sammy Watkins, Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes is still untested as a pro, having started just one game as a rookie, but he’s got a big arm and loves to throw the ball downfield -- which is a good thing, because coach Andy Reid also loves to throw the ball downfield. Mahomes is really Reid’s type of quarterback. He’s also athletic, which will press opponents into playing more conservatively on pass defense.

Watkins has the pedigree of a former first-round pick, but he’s only posted one 1,000-yard season thus far.
