After Losing Major Offensive Pieces to Dirty Business, $500 Million Worth Patrick Mahomes Uses off Season to Develop Relationships and Assess Competition

The NFL is in the offseason phase and the draft is yet to happen. But despite having leisure time, some athletes are making use to make progress in their skill sets. Among them is Patrick Mahomes, who is making it count in his available time. The Chiefs QB1 is getting his training done alongside an upcoming Niners star who recently came off an injury.

Trey Lance’s debut starting season turned out as a nightmare for him. He suffered an ankle injury after just two starts. The quarterback also had some bugs that he needed to fix as fans critiqued he was not ready for it. Lance is now making notable progress, and he is not alone.

Patrick Mahomes and Trey Lance go viral

The NFL on Twitter shared a clip showcasing Trey Lance slinging some shots with the ball. The clip, initially shared by Preston Smith Photography, went viral as it featured two budding stars in the league, Lance and Patrick Mahomes. The Grim Reaper also made progress for the injuries that bugged him throughout the playoffs. The Niners QB certainly had enhanced playing tactics that could help him win the starting job again.

It is also interesting for the Gunslinger to practice with a rival conference quarterback. But the Kansas City Chiefs QB1 might take the Michael Jordan approach. Since His Airness also used to bring out his opponents on the court for some joint practice to assess how they play. KC lost some crucial weapons this year, but Mahomes is not looking to lose.

The clip would mark Trey Lance’s first off-season workout since coming off the injury. The quarterback would have some tough competition, as rookie Brock Purdy would also be on the line. The franchise also hired former Panthers QB Sam Darnold, but he might be in the fallback zone.

Will the Niners shop around for a QB trade?

The Red and Gold recently made a questionable QB choice with the signing of Sam Darnold. Since Purdy and Lance are coming off injuries, the franchise needs to make sure of a veteran fallback option. However, that may not be it, as the franchise might go for a trade with a Californian quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers is bound to compete for New York. However, the transaction has yet to take place. While Green Gang fans await their chance, another franchise could be on the sprint. According to Craig Carton, if the Jets trade falls through, the San Francisco 49ers could be interested in Rodgers. But A-Rod’s admission that he did not want to go to the Bay was as clear as day. What do you think is going to happen next in this drama that has kept everyone on their toes? Where is Rodgers headed? Is Lance ready to come back stronger than ever, and with Rodgers on his side? This would sure be an interesting development.
