Chiefs Kingdom is already giddy with excitement and it’s only Wednesday. That’s because Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made it official that Patrick Mahomes, the team’s first round pick and rookie quarterback sensation, will be making his first ever pro start on Sunday in Week 17 at Mile High Stadium.
This is the perfect scenario both for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in general. Mahomes will be able to get at least 1/16th of a season under his belt and show the coaching staff and front office what he can do with a week of game planning and a chance to lead several offensive series in a row.
