🛡️ Will the Chiefs Let Mahomes Down? Bold 2025 Prediction Sparks O-Line Worries 😱

Kansas City Chiefs Predicted to Struggle Protecting Patrick Mahomes in 2025 - Athlon Sports

Coming off an embarrassing 40-22 Super Bowl LIX defeat last February, the Kansas City Chiefs had a lot of things to work on entering the offseason.

With questions about the interior offensive line, interior defensive line, pass rush, secondary and wideout, there are plenty of places where Kansas City could look to improve.

But perhaps the biggest question is when it comes to protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine believes the left tackle position could be trouble for the Chiefs in the upcoming season.

“The Chiefs know that protecting Patrick Mahomes has to be their highest priority. As long as he has time in the pocket, they are going to have an effective offense,” Ballentine wrote. “Unfortunately, his protection detail had a flaw at left tackle last season. Kingsley Suamataia was unable to take over the role, and the Chiefs were eventually forced to slide Joe Thuney outside from his guard spot. Now, Thuney is gone and the Chiefs have placed bets on Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons to fill the role. Moore, 28, got a two-year, $30 million contract in free agency this offseason. He has promise, but he’s only started 12 games in his four years as a reserve for the 49ers. They also spent a first-round pick on Josh Simmons.

“He’s coming back from a torn ACL, but he is supposed to be full-go for camp. Ideally, one of their newest additions will prove they are ready to start in Week 1. The Chiefs also have to figure out if Suamataia can cut it at left guard, so the entire left side of the line is worth following in the coming weeks.”
