The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense last season left a lot to be desired, from Patrick Mahomes‘ form dip to the run game and the receiver unit, it was all a little underwhelming.

That might sound odd considering the Chiefs were 15-2 and made it to the Super Bowl, but Andy Reid’s offense wasn’t as high-octane as we had come to know. Injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown were big reasons for that, as was the down form of Travis Kelce.

Now, as training camp approaches, some think the Chiefs’ weaponry isn’t going to be as good as it was last year, but for FS1’s Nick Wright, speaking on First Things First, he thinks the opposite.

“They will enter this year with as strong, if not stronger, receiving core than they entered last year,” Wright said. “Because last year, Xavier Worthy was a rookie. Hollywood [Brown] had gotten hurt, and [Travis] Kelce was not fully right at the beginning of the year. So, I think it will not be as jarring for Mahomes as I think it will be for other quarterbacks because last year they were so undermanned throughout. The real question is whether Xavier Worthy will follow the exact Rashee Rice trajectory from year one to year two.”

Wright does have a point.

Considering Rice is expected to receive some sort of punishment for his off-field incident, still, with Brown fully healthy, Worthy’s projected improvement, so too Kelce, the Chiefs offense does have the potential to be better.

How long Rice will miss if that is the way the NFL goes is unknown, but some think four games, which will still leave him 13 games to get rolling.

And if he does, along with Brown showing what he can do, along with Worthy and Kelce improving, a Chiefs offense that many aren’t sold on, might just surprise people in 2025.
