He’s excited to join the reigning Super Bowl champions and learn from Patrick Mahomes
Recently, Ta’amu spoke to the Fox TV affiliate in Hawaii to relay his excitement about his upcoming NFL opportunity in Kansas City.
“Honestly, it’s just a huge blessing for me. A huge blessing for my family. We’ve been praying about this,” Ta’amu told KHON-TV’s Rob DeMello. “Shoutout to the XFL, shoutout to them for giving me another opportunity to keep playing the sport I love and to showcase my talents again with a bunch of professional guys. It was good competition and getting the phone call saying I’m gonna sign with the Chiefs was pretty exciting. I couldn’t be happier.”
Happy days are ahead for the 22-year-old QB because now he’ll get a chance to learn from the best QB in the NFL. It’s something that he’s most looking forward to in his upcoming opportunity.
“I’m excited to play with the best team in the world, Super Bowl champs, with Patrick Mahomes,” Ta’amu said. “Him being a guy that I’ve looked up to and getting ready to see him in live-action and learn from — that is gonna be a huge honor for me. Kind of just sitting back there and watching what he does and just picking at his brain a little bit and see what I can learn from that. It’s a super honor and I’m super blessed to be a part of that.”
Mahomes might overshadow this a little, but Ta’amu will also get a chance to work with Andy Reid, who is routinely referred to as a quarterback whisperer.
