WATCH: Patrick Mahomes connects with Mecole Hardman on tricky shovel pass

Patrick Mahomes had to go deep into his bag of tricks to connect with Mecole Hardman during this impressive play at #Chiefs training camp.

The Kansas City Chiefs are entering a crucial phase of their training camp in St. Joseph, and Andy Reid’s offense appears to be firing on all cylinders ahead of the team’s first preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.

Between one-on-one drills and the dreaded ‘long drive’, which is a staple of Reid’s training camps, the defending Super Bowl champions have been hard at work striving to replicate last season’s success.

Patrick Mahomes gave fans at practice a great look at what the team has been up to in recent weeks during Kansas City’s workouts on Friday when he completed a tricky shovel pass to wide receiver Mecole Hardman during throwing drills.

Take a look at this video of the play below, which was posted by KC Sports Network on Twitter:

 

With two new receivers in Andy Reid’s intricately designed offense, Mahomes may be forced to call on this kind of quick thinking and scrambling ability to help lift the Chiefs to victory next season.
