Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hosting wide receivers for throwing session in Texas

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and several other players have gathered in Dallas, Texas for another offseason throwing session.

The Kansas City Chiefs still have over 10 days to go until Phase I of the offseason program begins, but several players seem to be getting a headstart working together.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shared an Instagram story with a video from Preston Smith Photography. It shows him throwing to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling at the TCU indoor practice facilities in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s not the first time these two have gathered down in Texas for some offseason work.

Valdes-Scantling isn’t the only receiver out training with Mahomes, though. He’s also joined by second-year wide receivers Skyy Moore, Justyn Ross, Jerrion Ealy, and Ihmir Smith-Marsette.

Mahomes wasn’t the only one spotted throwing either. He was joined by San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance, who is throwing after suffering a season-ending ankle injury last year. He was also joined by the two other QBs on the Chiefs’ roster, Shane Buechele and Chris Oladokun.

Mahomes was also joined by his personal QB and throwing coach Jeff Christiansen, as well as his personal trainer Bobby Stroupe.

Players are permitted to host their own offseason workouts and the Chiefs gave Patrick Mahomes free rein to do so last year. It seemed to help build some chemistry with the incoming group of free agent receivers, who credited that work to some big performances that came much later in the season.

Miami Dolphins examined Tua Tagovailoa, have not yet worked out with QB

Former Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa has been examined by his new team, the Miami Dolphins, but has not yet worked out with the team or coaches.

Former Alabama star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was drafted by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 NFL draft, despite injury concerns. Now, almost three months after the draft, the Dolphins are still waiting to get their hands on their future quarterback.

In an interview with the Palm Beach Post, Dolphins head coach Brian Flores gave an update on what he’s seen from Tagovailoa.

“Yes, he was examined, but again, ‘examined’ and then doing a two-hour practice and playing in a game — there’s a process to all those things,” Flores said. “So, as far as whether or not he can or can’t do something, it would be hard to say.”

The team’s doctors have been working with Tagovailoa, and they have “examined” him, but Flores is more concerned with his abilities post-rehab.

The 2018 Heisman Finalist recovered rather quickly from a season-ending hip injury that required surgery, and even posted videos of him training and throwing back in March.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, team facilities have been closed, but are starting to reopen. It seems as if it is only a matter of time before Flores, and the public, gets to see Tagovailoa throwing in a Dolphins uniform.
