Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was the latest player to be mic’d up at training camp. As it turns out, he’s an absolute goofball on the practice field.
The video starts out with Mahomes picking up WR Tyreek Hill and posing for a photo. As he set him down, he realized just how heavy he was.
“That boy heavy,” Mahomes said. “That boy dense.”
Afterward, we get a close-up of Mahomes’ secret handshakes with his offensive linemen. That includes the best one of the bunch with Nick Allegretti, which mimics shotgunning beers.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce prompts Mahomes to try and prank some of the staff members. Mahomes went up to the Director of Equipment, Allen Wright and asked him: “Do you know where the um . . . is?”
He did it again to a trainer on the sideline and her response: “The what?”
Later Mahomes jokes with Khalen Saunders about flopping after getting touched by the third-year defensive tackle. Tyreek Hill also gives a PSA about how much he loves the Chiefs.
It’s pretty remarkable how much fun these guys have together out on the practice field. The ability to get good work done while also having a good time doesn’t happen everywhere. I think it speaks volumes about the type of leader that Mahomes is and the way that Andy Reid runs his training camps.
Be sure to watch the full video at the top of the page or over on the Chiefs’ official YouTube channel.
