Quarterback Patrick Mahomes:
Q: How important can Chris Conley be as a third option?
MAHOMES: “You saw it last year with Albert Wilson and how important he was to this offense. With Chris Conley, he was a guy having a great season until he went down last year. It is someone who can solidify and complete that whole entire offense. If he is healthy, and he will be healthy because he is way ahead of schedule, just having him there and having someone who is reliable who is a freak athlete too. Just a guy that can take the top off a defense as well, it will help complete the offense.”
Q: What has your relationship with Chris been like with him coming back?
MAHOMES: “It’s been awesome. It’s been huge to him to be able to be back and be able to go in these OTAs and this minicamp. It’s something that we are trying to build this chemistry. He is a really smart guy. He always seems to be on the same page as me and so we can keep building and building to make sure we can have that chemistry throughout the season.”
Q: With this time off, will you be more engaged in the U.S. Open or World Cup?
MAHOMES: “I would say the U.S. Open just because the USA isn’t in the World Cup, but I will be engaged in that, too. It is a special time of year just to see the passion and the love of every country.”
Q: What about the College World Series?
MAHOMES: “I will be very engaged in that with Texas Tech there. Hopefully making a run at the championship. They have a good enough team to do it.”
Q: Who is on your Fortnite squad?
MAHOMES: “Fortnite squad, I haven’t been playing a ton lately. But Gehrig Dieter and his brother plays with us, and then Tyreek Hill. We play a little bit but we’ve been playing a little bit of (NBA) 2K lately.”
Q: What kind of a sense do you get that this offense will be different than the one you were in last year?
MAHOMES: “There is still a lot of the same stuff. We had a ton of success last year with the offense that we ran. There’s definitely a little bit more flavor to what I like. Of course, every quarterback is different. But at the same time, a lot of that stuff has had success for many years so we are going to try to be perfect at all the basics of it and have a specialty play every once and a while in the game.”
