For several Kansas City Chiefs prospects, the past couple of days have marked their first at NFL training camp on July 18 and 19. The latter was the first day of practices for KC quarterbacks and rookies and reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes II addressed the media ahead of it. One of the first questions — what was his advice to the 2023 rookie class amid their first training camp under Andy Reid?
“I told those guys to make sure you’re ready for it,” Mahomes replied with a smile. “Obviously, Saint Joe’s is an amazing spot to have camp and we come out here [and] have a lot of fun, but you got to be ready to work [as well]. I tell them that if you can get through Andy Reid’s training camp then you’re going to be able to get through an NFL season and I think they have to have that mindset.”
“They got a taste of it during OTAs and that minicamp,” the Chiefs QB added, “but they’re going to really see what it’s like in training camp, and they know that if they do it the right way they have as good a chance as anybody to win that Super Bowl.”
