A must-read on the truth behind how Patrick Mahomes ended up in Kansas City Old friend Terez Paylor of Yahoo! Sports still lives in Kansas City and keeps a close eye on the Chiefs¡ªhe hosts the Terez Paylor Show on 610 Sports Radio every Monday.With Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes off to such a hot start Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , Paylor dropped an outstanding article on how he ended up in Kansas City on Friday, beginning with the early interest of current Chiefs general manager Brett Veach, continuing with how Veach got Andy Reid involved and finishing with the art of former Chiefs GM John Dorsey outmaneuvering four other teams on draft night.The article is full of great nuggets like this:After reading twice, here are my quick takeaways:It was confirmed that Veach was one of the first members of the Chiefs personnel staff to like Mahomes. There is no doubt about that.Veach pushed Mahomes onto Reid, and he was only able to do so because of the trust he had built with the Chiefs¡¯ head coach by alerting him about players he loved while with the Eagles, such as Fletcher Cox and DeSean Jackson. History told Reid that if Veach liked a guy, he should pay special attention.Reid has said in the past that Veach is responsible for Mahomes, which to me, has always felt like a vast exaggeration. I never understood why Reid and the Chiefs felt the need to push that out there¡ªthe idea that Dorsey had little to do with it. As Paylor writes Khalen Saunders Jersey Cheap , Dorsey was well aware of Mahomes and ¡°outmaneuvered four other teams¡± on draft night to make sure he didn¡¯t end up anywhere else. When the Chiefs were interested in Marcus Peters, they sent Chris Ballard, not Dorsey, to Oakland to find out more about him. When Peters won defensive rookie of the year in 2015, no one was saying, ¡°Yeah, but Chris Ballard drafted Peters.¡± It was always just the Chiefs.On Thursday night, another quarterback who Dorsey had a hand in drafting gave the Browns their first win in 635 days. If the Browns suddenly choose to fire Dorsey in two months, that fact won¡¯t change. Again Khalen Saunders Jersey Womens , I encourage you to read Paylor¡¯s well-written piece and draw your own conclusions. ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) ¡ª Patrick Mahomes and Kareem Hunt entered the NFL as part of Kansas City¡¯s 2017 draft class and quickly formed a tight friendship as they tried to build the Chiefs into a Super Bowl contender.Mahomes now must do it without Hunt, released over the weekend after a video surfaced that showed him knocking over and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway in February.¡°We had a close relationship,¡± Mahomes said Sunday after he threw four TD passes in Kansas City¡¯s 40-33 victory over the Oakland Raiders.¡°I saw the stuff that happened. We don¡¯t do those things. At the same time I focused on our organization, the Chiefs. I know we have to keep moving forward and going out there to win football games if we want to have success this season.¡±The win over the Raiders capped a roller coaster of emotions for Chiefs players, who watched Hunt get sent home from the facility on Friday after TMZ posted the video. Hunt is shown being restrained several times by friends before pushing a woman to the ground, when he proceeds to kick her. Police were called to the scene during the Feb. 10 incident, no charges were filed and no punishment was handed out by the NFL.That changed soon after the video was posted, with the league placing Hunt on the Commissioner Exemption List and then the Chiefs releasing Hunt shortly after that.Coach Andy Reid declined to elaborate on the move Khalen Saunders white jersey , saying only it was difficult and praising his players for how they dealt with any distraction.¡°We made the decision that we made,¡± Reid said. ¡°We put out a statement to explain the situation. As we¡¯ve done in the past, when things come up that¡¯s where we go. We handle it within and we handle it with the person that it affects. We¡¯ve done all of those things.¡±Hunt led the NFL in rushing as a rookie with 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns in helping Kansas City make the playoffs. He had run for 824 yards this season, with seven touchdowns rushing and seven more receiving, in helping the Chiefs (10-2) race out to a lead in the AFC West.Now Kansas City must go through the stretch run of the season and the playoffs without one of its most important offensive pieces and popular locker room personality.¡°That¡¯s my brother,¡± said Spencer Ware, who replaced Hunt as the starting running back. ¡°It¡¯s a tough situation. But like I said, the men in this circle Khalen Saunders Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , the men in our locker room, the organization, Chiefs kingdom ¡ª we got one goal to win the Super Bowl. We got to stay distraction-free. I don¡¯t have anything else to say about that.¡±They managed to survive just fine against the struggling Raiders (2-10) with Ware rushing 14 times for 47 yards and a 1-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-goal direct snap. Damien Williams added 38 yards on five carries, Tyreek Hill gained 37 on an end-around and a lateral, and Mahomes ran for 52 on his own.The Chiefs finished with 174 yards rushing in all, their second-highest total of the season.¡°It was great to get Spencer back in there working on more of a full-time basis, as opposed to being a relief pitcher or third-down player,¡± Reid said. ¡°Williams then stepped in and had a couple of nice runs.¡±
