Podcast32BeatWriters - Chiefs Offseason Preview: Mahomes' Knee, Kenneth Walker & a Loa...July 17, 2026

From the episode

You don't want Patrick to be having to run for 10, 15, 20 yards. But there were times in a football game where, hey, this receiver is not getting open. They've taken away this play, this play, this play. They don't necessarily have a running back... So, I've got to convert the first down. Like, that's just how it's got to be.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mahomes' willingness to run when receivers aren't getting open and plays are taken away is a key part of his competitive nature and how he adapts to roster construction, though ideally he shouldn't have to run 10-15-20+ yards regularly.
