About 6,500 Chiefs fans showed up to Missouri Western State University in the rain on Wednesday morning—primarily to see the NFL’s reigning MVP: quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The opportunity to watch Mahomes practice is worth the trip in itself, but as a bonus, Wednesday was also quarterback autograph-signing day in St. Joseph.
As it turned out, fans were also treated to the stellar play of one of their promising young stars on the other side of the football—rookie safety Juan Thornhill.
Thornhill began to garner some buzz the week of the draft, when some felt he could go in the first round.
