During the latest episode of New Heights, Travis and Jason Kelce welcomed Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The long-time coach shared his thoughts on quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the 2017 NFL Draft process.
“When we watch these players on tape, you can’t put the tape down; you want to watch more and more and more. No one is better than him when he’s running around outside the pocket; he can make special throws. He was doing a lot of that, and the question was, “What type of person is he?” said Nagy, “Coach Reid and Brett Veach, we got to bring in these quarterbacks, bring them into a room, and spend a good six to eight hours with each of these guys. We knew how much we loved the player, but bringing him in and seeing him take it to the top in the person side of it was unbelievable.”
The Chiefs famously traded up to the tenth pick to select Mahomes in the first round. He has evolved into one of the best quarterbacks in the league, with three Super Bowl titles to his name.
