Patrick Mahomes has absolute faith in his receivers, and he made sure to express that when speaking with reporters on Wednesday. Specifically, he made a bold claim about where he thinks the receiver room can rank across the other 31 teams during the 2025 season.

“I think we can be one of the better receiver rooms in the league with the guys that we have in it,” Mahomes said.

The Kansas City Chiefs dealt with a lot of injuries last season, specifically being without Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown for large portions. However, with everyone healthy and ready to go, plus having Xavier Worthy ready to take the jump into his second year, it could be a dangerous combination.

“Obviously, everything looks great right now. I mean, getting the guys back healthy as far as Rashee (Rice) and having Hollywood (Brown) fully healthy and Xavier (Worthy) in year two – I think the offense has the chance to be really, really good,” Mahomes said. “It’s just about keeping building – I’m excited to kind of have these guys again just with – we’ve had a lot of turnover in the receiving room, and it seems like the core group will be back in its entirety. So, the goal is to try to build on it and get even better and try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we’ve done in years past.”

But there is one receiver that Mahomes has a very special bond with, and that’s Brown. So, getting him for a full season will be a recipe for success.

“You all saw it in training camp, how special of a football player he is,” Mahomes explained. “He did everything the right way, was in the building early, was in the building late, was teaching other guys. For him to get injured in kind of a freak deal there in the first play of the preseason, and just, it stunk. I was happy to have him back at the end of the season and him to get back within the offense.

“I think now with hopefully him having the full offseason and training camp and keep staying healthy and continuing to fight through, his role will expand even more. I mean it’s kind of hard to throw guys in at the end of the season and try to give them a huge role,” he continued. “I think you can see when he gets the football in his hands and he has a huge role in our offense, it makes everybody go.

“Excited for him and also that receiving room just in general are all really good friends and want each other to have success. I think we can be one of the better receiver rooms in the league with the guys that we have in it.”

Along with Rice, Brown, and Worthy, the Chiefs also have Skyy Moore, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Justyn Ross, Nikko Remigio, and Jason Brownlee on the roster.

Mahomes has officially put the NFL on warning about the Chiefs’ receiver room.
