Chiefs Turn Heads After Announcement on Patrick Mahomes' Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs may have hit a speed bump last season, but they have been at the top of the NFL world for much of the past several years. Kansas City has been to three straight Super Bowls, having won in 2023 and 2024.

The Chiefs emphasized incorporating big pass plays last year at this time as well, but they rarely materialized in the regular season.

More specifically, questions surrounding superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes' blindside protection (or lack thereof) linger. Left tackle has been a glaring hole for the Chiefs since Donovan Smith's contract expired following his lone season with the team in 2023.
