With 16 games in the book and one to play, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked to name his greatest area of growth from the 2021 season.
In 2021, Mahomes faced more adversity than he has during any of his four years as starter — with opposing teams playing more double-high coverage and challenging him to work in the short-to-intermediate areas. Those looks required a new discipline from Mahomes, who made much of his NFL living on the deep ball heading into the year.
“I think the biggest area of growth is that I’ve just learned to be patient,” said Mahomes.
