Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach told running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire that quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a hand in the team drafting him Thursday.
Both Reid and Veach told Edwards-Helaire that Mahomes chose him when asked for his input on the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the draft:
The 5'7", 207-pound Edwards-Helaire is coming off a highly productive season in LSU's high-octane offense, finishing with 1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground and 55 receptions for 453 yards and one score through the air.
