NEW ORLEANS — On Wednesdays and Thursdays, Patrick Mahomes enters the Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks room around 6:30 a.m.
He pulls his headphones over his ears, his hoodie over the headphones.
A tablet and game plan rest on the table in front of him. On the tablet, Mahomes writes. And he writes. And he writes.
“The first two hours at the beginning of the day, no one really talks to him,” fellow Chiefs quarterback Chris Oladokun told Yahoo Sports. “He’s locked in.”
The routine dates back years now. For about two hours to start Wednesday, he’ll copy over to his tablet each play call and each scouting note.
