Quarterback Patrick Mahomes II: It no longer seems absurd that Mahomes could be the No. 2 quarterback behind starter
Alex Smith when the regular season begins, as it did at the end of offseason practice. Mahomes' abilities showed only inconsistently during the offseason, but it's been a more common occurrence at training camp. The rookie led the Chiefs to a touchdown on a four-play, 75-yard drive during a two-minute drill and had another four-play sequence that featured some big-time throws. None of this, however, suggests Mahomes is ready to be the Chiefs' No. 2 quarterback. He's been guilty at times of trying to force the ball into coverage, and he's fortunate he hasn't yet had a pass intercepted during full-team or 7-on-7 drills in the three competitive practices the Chiefs have held. But the No. 10 overall pick in this year's draft appears to be gaining ground at a rapid pace.
