Patrick Mahomes doesn’t expect a long learning period for Josh Downs

On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs executed a trade with the Indianapolis Colts to bring in wide receiver Josh Downs in return for a pair of Day 3 draft selections.

Now that the move is official, the process of integrating Downs into the offense begins. Speaking before Wednesday’s practice, quarterback Patrick Mahomes did not foresee a problem.

Mahomes expects his new target to be on the field as he learns Kansas City’s offense.

“It is realistic,” Mahomes explained, “because we do a great job of kind of moving guys in and out of every single position, and so guys know the entire concepts of the plays. We’re very detailed with how we call the plays in the huddle, which will help him out a ton.
