4. Reasons to buy in on Pat Mahomes. The Chiefs bought their new triggerman a shiny new weapon Wednesday in breaking the bank for Sammy Watkins ($34 million over the next two years, $30 million of which is fully guaranteed). And in doing so you can see the vision for where the K.C. offense is going. Running downfield with Watkins, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce won’t be easy for any defense, and Patrick Mahomes’ howitzer of a right arm makes the threat of game-changing plays real. This, of course, is all part of why Kansas City sold off this year’s first-round pick to move up 15 spots last April and get the then-21-year-old.

The other part? The Chiefs believed they were getting a guy who was a natural leader, and had an easy command as a lead dog. We’ll see how the first part plays out. As for the second part, there’s already pretty good evidence that the Chiefs have confirmation.
There were points during the 2017 season when Mahomes could’ve made things uncomfortable on Alex Smith. Kansas City did go through a 1-6 stretch, and the rookie’s presence on the roster, combined with the team’s investment in him, gave everyone an easy, “in case of emergency, break glass” solution to go to as a team that was aging in spots struggled to regain its stride. Instead, Mahomes went in the other direction all together. The rookie would get extra work, as young players often do, after practice to put physical reps to everything he was studying in acclimating to the pro game. But he made a point of doing it with backup or practice-squad receivers. Why? Because, as he saw it, the starters were part of Smith’s unit, and he didn’t want to be seen as infringing on Smith’s turf.

It’s a little thing, to be sure. But as the coaches and staff saw it, it was another example of how Mahomes had a good sense for how a team worked, and what being a good teammate meant. Bottom line, it could’ve been awkward between the quarterbacks, and it didn’t end up being like that at all. “He handled that situation better than we could’ve ever predicted,” said one Chiefs staffer. “Kid is a stud in that.”

And so they all have little doubt that when April comes and the offseason program kicks off, Mahomes will be able to smoothly move into a leadership role, even at 22 years old. Because he’s already made something that should’ve been pretty difficult look relatively easy.
