From Albert Breer:

5. When I saw the story on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes turning down endorsement deals last week, I immediately thought of the best story I heard about the second-year phenom over the last few months. It’s one that meshes right in with the idea that he’d say no to a local car dealership or two. Over the course of the season last year, Mahomes would look to get extra work in after practice, since his reps became sparse when the real games began. But he’d never ask the front-line guys, like Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelce or Albert Wilson to go with him. Instead he’d get backups to run routes for him. Why? Because he didn’t want to create any sort of appearance that he was gunning for Alex Smith’s job, or playing politics. Those first-string guys were Smith’s receivers, as he saw it. It’s a little thing, of course. But I think it shows plenty about how conscientious Mahomes is.
