Patrick Mahomes wrapped up Kansas City Chiefs training camp focused on getting better and feeding off the energy of the team\u2019s younger players. The star quarterback, known for his creativity and competitive spirit, used the offseason and camp to sharpen his skills.<\/p>\n

He spent extra time working with the scout team and thinking back on his college days at Missouri Western State University. As the NFL preseason moves forward, Mahomes is getting ready to lead the Chiefs through a tough early schedule with fresh focus.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes enjoys pushing boundaries with scout team during training camp<\/h2>\n

Mahomes shared his thoughts on how practicing with the scout team gave him a chance to experiment more than in regular camp practices. \u201cYeah, it’s fun. You get to push the envelope a little bit.<\/p>\n

You get to try stuff a little more than you would try in a regular training camp practice,\u201d Mahomes said. He also spoke of how this helped him work on fakes to trick defenses and improve his ability to throw into tighter windows.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he values the mix of hungry young players and veteran leadership<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest positives Mahomes sees this year is the energy brought by the Chiefs\u2019 younger players. Their zeal to compete adds a fresh dynamic alongside the experience of established team leaders.\u201cI think you learned \u2013 I mean, I didn’t learn this, but you know how hungry these guys are. It started in OTAs, and guys are ready to compete; they’re ready to get there and prove who we are,\u201d<\/p>\n

Mahomes explained.Meanwhile, his intensity this offseason has stood out even to his veteran teammates. \u201cI wanted to up my mentality,\u201d Mahomes said of his approach to camp, adding \u201cSometimes you get to camp, and you just want to go out there and dominate the day. I want to dominate every single rep. No days off. You have to get better and better every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the preseason winds down, it\u2019s not yet clear if Mahomes will play in the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 last preseason game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. The quarterback is leaving the decision to head coach Andy Reid and is ready to contribute whenever called upon.<\/p>\n

With a tough early schedule ahead, Mahomes\u2019 approach and leadership will be important for the Chiefs\u2019 success this NFL season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
