‘He had no, like, filter’: Travis Kelce Unveiled Stunning Story About Patrick Mahomes’ Ruthless Behavior Towards Chiefs Defense | HO

Patrick Mahomes Set for a Blockbuster 2024 Season Following Playoff Surge and Offseason Additions

The 2023 regular season might not have showcased Patrick Mahomes at his very best since his entry into the NFL, but expectations are sky-high for what 2024 holds for the Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback. After regaining his dominant form during last season’s playoffs, Mahomes, now 28, seems primed for another MVP-caliber year. The Chiefs have added two explosive wide receivers during the offseason, potentially setting up Mahomes for a return to the elite levels he displayed in 2018 when he threw an astounding 50 touchdown passes.

It’s hard to fathom that Mahomes, now a two-time Super Bowl champion and MVP, spent his rookie year on the bench, but with Alex Smith as the starting quarterback back then, the situation made sense.

Even during that early period, tight end Travis Kelce saw something special in Mahomes, particularly when the young QB was running drills against the Chiefs’ starting defense.

Appearing on the Pardon My Take podcast, Kelce was asked when he first realized Mahomes was destined to be “the one.” The veteran tight end delved into Mahomes’ practice performances during his rookie season, recalling how Mahomes would lead the backups against the first-team defense, leaving everyone stunned.

“The st he was doing in those practices was mind-blowing. He had no, like, filter. He was just out there like, ‘oh this doesn’t matter.’ I could just throw it over here.

The defense is just demoralized in practice. They’re like, ‘what the fk, this kid’s dicing us up right now,’” Kelce recounted with enthusiasm.

Kelce also reminisced about Mahomes getting his first career start during the final game of the season in Denver. While the numbers didn’t jump off the page, Mahomes’ poise under pressure made it clear that greatness was just around the corner. “You could tell he was ready. He didn’t light up the scoreboard, but the way he commanded the offense was unreal,” said Kelce.

With the Chiefs reloading their offense this offseason and Mahomes fully back to his best in postseason play, the 2024 season could be a defining year. Many analysts are already predicting that Mahomes could once again hit the 50-touchdown mark, bringing back memories of his record-setting 2018 campaign.

If Kelce’s early instincts and Mahomes’ playoff resurgence are any indications, fans and opponents alike should prepare for another spectacular year from one of the league’s most talented quarterbacks.
