When Patrick Mahomes II finally received his playbook from the Chiefs on Friday night, it didn’t take him long to start going to work.
“I studied all night,” Mahomes said. “I’m trying to stay on it.”
Mahomes, who recently became the first quarterback the Chiefs have taken in the first round since 1983, wanted to make a positive first impression with his new teammates on Saturday, the beginning of the Chiefs’ three-day rookie minicamp.
Doing that, he knew, would not only require a knowledge of the plays they’d be running that day, but an ability to spit them out in the huddle — something he never did at Texas Tech.
