Mahomes has already started with preparations for the upcoming season
While the veteran enjoys the NBA playoffs along with his family, the gunslinger is back to work. This season, Mahomes has a job to defend the Super Bowl title and sustain his performance. Many players have left the team. Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith Schuster are no longer part of the city. Hence, new plans are required to maintain their position.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs have started their offseason practice. Players are back to the gridiron, with rookie dinners and mandatory meetings in full swing. It will be interesting to see how Patrick approaches the season with a few faces in the camp.
