Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes entered training camp without his longtime favorite wide receiver Tyreek Hill, but at least one familiar face is at training camp: his younger brother Jackson Mahomes. The younger Mahomes, who was in the sporting news last season for less than favorable reasons, attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ first week of training camp and shared a photo with his brother, the former league and Super Bowl MVP.

Jackson Mahomes simply captioned the moment with the sentiment that Patrick is back at the grind:

“Back in action ⏰”

Last season, the younger Mahomes was in the news several times for less than favorable reasons.

Patrick Mahomes has always had the loyal support of his family. The star signal-caller will certainly be looking to return to the Super Bowl after last season’s defeat at the hands of Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game.

The Chiefs’ back-to-back, thrilling overtime playoff games left the fanbase wanting more. Jackson Mahomes is definitely not the only Chiefs fan ready to start the new season with a bang.

Patrick Mahomes adjusting to new teammates

The Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver room will have a distinctively new look this coming season. Gone are Tyreek Hill and Byron Pringle. Mecole Hardman remains the lone significant holdover from seasons past.

The Chiefs, in the offseason, added former Pittsburgh Steeler JuJu Smith-Schuster and former Green Bay Packer Marquez Valdes-Scantling. They drafted Skyy Moore out of Western Michigan.

Of course, Mahomes still has the services of his elite tight end, Travis Kelce. Last season, teams adjusted to the Chiefs offense by covering deep routes and daring Mahomes to dink and dunk underneath. The addition of Smith-Schuster should provide Mahomes with a good possession receiver alongside Kelce.

Valdes-Scantling, Hardman, and Moore should round out the wide receiver corps. As it stands, Hills’ departure leaves a vacuum for the Chiefs’ receivers that should be filled by committee.

Currently, the Chiefs have +1000 odds to win the Super Bowl. They come in behind the Buffalo Bills (+575) (who they defeated last season in the divisional round). They also come in behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+850) (who defeated the Chiefs two Super Bowls ago).
