I think Mahomes will be the backup, and it comes down to one major factor. He needs the daily scout team reps in practice against the starting defense. If you make him the backup, he can take those reps entirely. If he is the #3, they are deferring many of them to Bray, I would think.
Point being, its going to be hard for Reid to give Mahomes more reps than Bray and call him the 3rd stringer at the same time. Those two simply don't mix.
