Why Patrick Mahomes' potential has energized Andy Reid

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs held a party for their season-ticket holders shortly before the start of training camp this year and the gathering turned into an impromptu pep rally when coach Andy Reid stepped forward to speak.

Firing up the masses is generally not Reid's way. He's usually even-keeled to the point that sometimes after a game it's difficult to tell from his demeanor whether the Chiefs won or lost.

This is no ordinary season for the 60-year-old, though. He has Patrick Mahomes moving into the starting spot at quarterback.
