Patrick Mahomes reveals Matt Nagy helped him during Chiefs pre-draft visit

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Before they picked him in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs found a lot to like about then-Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Among the factors in Mahomes' favor was how he dissected plays flawlessly on a whiteboard for coach Andy Reid and others on the offensive staff during his pre-draft visit to Kansas City.

Now, Mahomes revealed he had the answers to the test, so to speak. Speaking on the "New Heights" podcast hosted by teammate Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Mahomes said then-Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy tipped him to the plays Reid would ask him to go through.
