A KANSAS City Chiefs coach has revealed some of the growing pains that Patrick Mahomes went through early in his career.
While many fans look at Mahomes as the future GOAT, at one point he was just a rookie looking to prove himself.
Members of the Chiefs have revealed Patrick Mahomes’ early growing pains
Mahomes had some issues to work out before he became a starter
Mahomes was drafted with the No. 10 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.
While he was a highly-touted quarterback prospect, he still had plenty to learn.
“He was yelling his first play into the huddle,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said via ESPN.
“The defense could hear the play. We had to tell him to chill out.”
Of course, Mahomes had no issue getting through those growing pains and has turned into the best quarterback in the league.
He has gone to five Super Bowls in his seven years as a starter, winning three in the process.
Running back Kareem Hunt shared just how much Mahomes has grown since his rookie season.
“Just how much he knows the system now and just seeing how he’s able to recognize defenses and call the plays on the fly if he needs to,” Hunt told ESPN.
