On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Matt Nagy held his first press conference of training camp. Throughout the media session, Nagy shared notes on several different Chiefs players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and rookie offensive lineman Josh Simmons.
For Mahomes, it’s back to the basics
Nagy explained that part of the staff’s role this year is making sure that the harsh feelings that came with the blowout Super Bowl loss don’t bleed into the team’s work this season. Nagy said that hasn’t happened with Mahomes.
“We’ve gone back to a lot of the foundational stuff — whether it’s mechanics, footwork, timing [or] progression — almost to like when he was a rookie again — and he embraces that,” said Nagy.
