Gruden mentioned that it might take Mahomes 3 or 3 and half years to be ready.
Whatever the case, Mahomes won't see the field in 2017 and IMO, it's unlikely that we see him before the 8th game of the 2018 season. He's a True Junior and is only 21 years old.
Gruden also mentioned that for the first time ever, Mahomes won't be splitting his Spring with baseball and football, which is a good thing for him. But the playbook is extensive and he has a long, long, long way to go before he's ready to effectively lead an NFL team.

Why 8 games in 2018? That's an interesting perspective.
What would those 8 weeks matter when he has 16 months to learn the playbook and an entire season to learn the game?
