ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Thinking he could take advantage of a dramatic size advantage, Patrick Mahomes threw a fade pass to the end zone during a recent Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice intended for 6-foot-4 wide receiver Justyn Ross, who was being covered by 5-11 cornerback Trent McDuffie.
It was the latest renewal of a camp battle between Mahomes and McDuffie. Mahomes won this round, perfectly placing the pass to Ross in the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown.
Mahomes went after McDuffie in a similar situation later in the same practice when the cornerback found himself covering 6-6 tight end Jared Wiley.
