Kansas City Chiefs and Quarterback Patrick Mahomes to Rely on Inexperienced Wide Receivers

NFL Seattle

in 2020

The Kansas City Chiefs and their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes have had a lot of success in recent years, but they are now facing a new challenge: relying on inexperienced wide receivers in 2020. The Chiefs lost two of their top wide receivers in the offseason, including Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill, who was traded to the Baltimore Ravens. This leaves the Chiefs with a receiving corps that is largely inexperienced and unproven.

The Chiefs have added some veteran players to the roster, such as Demarcus Robinson and Sammy Watkins, but neither of them have had much success in the NFL. Robinson has only had one season with more than 500 receiving yards, while Watkins has never had a 1,000-yard season. The Chiefs also drafted Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle in the 2019 NFL Draft, but neither of them have much experience in the NFL either.

This lack of experience could be a major issue for the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in 2020. Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and he needs reliable targets to throw to in order to be successful. With such an inexperienced receiving corps, it could be difficult for Mahomes to find consistent targets and move the ball down the field.

The Chiefs will also need to rely on their running game more in 2020. They have a talented backfield with Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy, and Darwin Thompson, but they will need to be more consistent if they want to take some of the pressure off Mahomes and the inexperienced wide receivers.

The Chiefs have a lot of talent on their roster and they should still be one of the best teams in the league in 2020. However, they will need to rely on their running game more and hope that their inexperienced wide receivers can step up and make plays if they want to have success this season. It will be interesting to see how Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs handle this challenge in 2020.
